Destiny Outreach® (DO!) offers a variety of “edutainment” programs
(combining education and positive entertainment) to meet the pressing
needs of children, family and the community. These programs
help motivated students prepare for life and college, as well as
various careers in the entertainment, technology and business industries.
The Dreams & Destiny® Campaign is
one of these innovative “edutainment” initiatives. The
Campaign introduces a multicultural group of 12-17 and 18-25 year-old
males and females of diverse economic backgrounds to a critical
set of career development experiences, vocational exposures, and
process technologies to help them discover their dreams and develop
action plans to accomplish them.
This experiential and engaging learning experience is content-rich,
culturally sensitive, and action-oriented with an emphasis on several
key outcomes:
- Improving the self-knowledge of teens, parents and
teachers,
- College planning skills, and
- Career decision-making.
The Campaign’s content is creatively delivered
through a series of interactive human development seminars, customized
career development workshops, career shadowing programs, and camp
experiences. In addition, multi-media and community outreach
events (i.e. PSAs, Online Contests, Forums) enhance the Campaign
and broaden the reach of its messages. |
