Mentees
Recognizing that our journey to adulthood is full of real life puzzles, and challenges, Dreamfar uses distance running as a metaphor for life on and off the road, by learning to take healthy risks in a safe space by setting goals on a path to a finish line of their own choosing. Dreamfar offers teens with diverse backgrounds and abilities an opportunity to find wellness through mentoring and running, as they build community and experience the shared joy of the journey. But mostly we see our athletes grow in ways that they may not have thought was possible. The best part is that no experience is needed to join our team! (Yes, really.)
