Summer Career Camps

The Dream Big program empowers college and technical school-bound youth with disabilities to dream big about their future. The program shows students that they can do many things that their non-disabled peers can do, and they should not limit their career goals.

Students spend each day exploring careers with one of our partner companies and learn the necessary skills to build a career. Each week is tailored to a specific career area based on the age and interests.
