Hello friends!

Finance Your Dream is the sixth and last module of Kidlink's I Have a Dream program. The module is designed by Kidlink teachers to support your youth participants with an environment for success as they work collaboratively with online peers from around the world. Within the lessons of this module you will find topics for youth to discuss and suggested activities that require action.

During this module those youth who have decided that they want to continue their dream project will actively seek funding for it. This takes place in Lesson 1. Those who have decided that they do not want to continue their dream project beyond what they have already done will instead proceed to Lesson 2. There they will complete an award application which signifies that they are presenting their dream project for the voting process described in that same lesson. In the Lesson 3 participants will plan an event that celebrates all the hard work they have done during the many months of the I Have a Dream program.

Participating learners in each module of I Have a Dream will:

  1. Engage in problem definition.
  2. Develop skills in information finding, organization, evaluation, synthesis, creation and publication.
  3. Brainstorm, organize, evaluate, prioritize and vote on ideas.
  4. Work cooperatively with their peers in written work and policy development.
