Epic Elevation LLC launched The D.R.E.A.M Initiative Youth Mentorship Program on May 25th, 2022; We host EEP D.R.E.A.M WEEKEND - a time to serve, to build, and to celebrate commUNITY each August and our last event was nothing short of #EpicIndeed !!! 


In 2023, The TDI DREAM TEAM members/mentees hosted the 2nd Annual TDI Kids Corner - Back To School Drive and Art Booth at Bridgeton Area Brothers United (B.A.B.U)   Annual Community Day to support their efforts in the Great City of Bridgeton, NJ for the youth of Cumberland County, NJ. 



TDI Annual #ArtActivism Project also took place during D.R.E.A.M Weekend - Expressing the importance of education in our works. The Dreamers created rock art displaying stickers with symbols and sayings encouraging school attendance, positivity and achievement.  We planted the rocks at the local Bridgeton Midget Football Field as the women’s flag football league gave high energy to the crowd.  It was a great experience!



A special thank you to our partner(s) -

The following day, the Dreamers joined fellow Girl Scouts for Family Fun Day in Wildwood, NJ.  Our program partners with Girl Scouts of Central and Southern New Jersey to offer members an array of opportunities.  Our troop was interviewed and featured on GS Media outlets; This was a special moment for one of the dreamers whose birthday was also recognized by GSCSNJ on that day.
