Click HERE to listen to Andy Jackson describe the
7 reasons that
Dreamcatchers is different and better than most traditional
youth work providers
Our Dream
To provide children and young people with opportunities to actively participate in the building and maintaining of a better society.
Our Aim
To engage and then inspire young people to catch their Dreams
Dreamcatchers is an amazing charity based in Manchester with the
audacious aim of inspiring Young People to catch their
Dreams.
Too many organisations who work with young people get hung up on
meaningless targets set by people who will never meet any young
people let alone learn their names.
Dreamcatchers is a new breed,
we operate on a purely needs led - solution focussed basis, (We
call this Progressive Youth Work) in short we believe we are the
future of youth work - we achieve positive results through positive
actions.
Our work is split into 3 main areas
1. Youth Engagement
2. Youth Development
3. Youth Coaching
Dreamcatchers was founded by Andy Jackson in 2005, he saw that
traditional youth provisions were no longer meeting the needs of
young people, so he decided to do something about it,
Dreamcatchers has grown at a ferocious pace, by underpinning our
work with cutting edge personal development technology and by
creating a like minded group of supporters and an AMAZING staff
team. We believe we have a fantastic staff team and we are
committed to helping them become even better!!
