You already know your child is gifted. Help them prove it.
Dream Chaser Kids gives busy parents a clear, low-lift path from "I think they're good at something" to "they built something real with it." You don't run the program. You walk alongside it.
You're already doing the hard part. Dream Chaser does the rest.
You don't need to become an entrepreneur, a tech expert, or a curriculum designer. Dream Chaser Kids gives your child the structure. It gives you the moments that matter — the car ride question, the dinner table conversation, the link you text to grandma at the end.
10 minutes to start
TalentExplorer is free, takes under 10 minutes, and gives your child a real answer — not a generic label. No enrollment required.
Your facilitator runs it
In schools, YMCAs, churches, and community orgs, a trained facilitator runs the full program. You don't need to show up or teach.
Conversation starters included
After each session your child has something to say at dinner. We give you the questions that open the door without pressure.
A page you can share
Every student leaves with a StoryBuilder page at a real URL — the kind of thing you text to the grandparents and they actually open.
What Dream Chaser changes
From "I hope they figure it out" to "they already are."
Most parents carry a low-level worry about their kid's future — especially in a world this fast. Dream Chaser doesn't add to that. It answers it.
The worry you carry
"I know they're good at something but I don't know what."
Screen time feels like a losing battle — they're consuming, not creating.
Money, gifts, and calling feel like separate conversations.
I'm too busy to guide this the way I want to.
No shared language for talking about strengths at home.
What changes after Dream Chaser
Your child has a name for their gift — language they carry into every room they enter.
They've used AI and digital tools to build something — not just scroll.
They understand how talent connects to service, stewardship, and earning — all at once.
A trained facilitator ran the whole thing — you just showed up for the showcase.
"Artistic Creator" and "Natural Leader" are dinner table words now — not just school file labels.
How it works
Four steps. Your child leads. You walk alongside.
This isn't a program you have to manage. It's designed to give you real moments of connection — car ride questions, dinner conversations, and an end-of-program showcase you actually want to attend.
01
Take Talent Explorer
Your child takes a short, kid-friendly quiz that surfaces their top 3–5 God-given talents. They get a profile — Artistic Creator, Problem Solver, Natural Leader, and more.
You get: a take-home summary to read together
02
Choose a project
Based on their talent profile, your child picks a Project Playbook — a step-by-step guide for a real project. Entrepreneurial, Social Venture, or Career Pathway.
You get: context for what they're building and why
03
Build it
Over 4–12 sessions, your child works through the playbook — planning, creating, refining. Circle Sessions keep them grounded in purpose, not just productivity.
You get: conversation starters tied to what they did that day
04
Share the story
Your child presents their project at a showcase and publishes a StoryBuilder page. A shareable link you can text to grandma. A portfolio piece they carry for years.
You get: a showcase to attend and a link to share with everyone you know
Stay connected without adding to your plate
Meet Dream Circle — your child's private support community.
Once your child launches their project, Dream Circle lets you build a private network of the people who already believe in them — grandparents, mentors, family friends — who follow their monthly updates, make pledges, and show up when it matters. You curate who gets in. Your child produces the updates. Everyone stays connected.
New · Dream Circle
The people who love your child should know what they're building.
Dream Circle is a private, parent-curated support network — family and friends who follow progress, make pledges of belief, and refer your child's work to their networks. You approve every member. Your child creates monthly updates with AI assistance. The circle does what circles do.
Dream Chaser is built around 10 distinct DreamChaser Talents. When your child takes TalentExplorer, they're not getting a personality label. They're getting a direction.
Once they have their talent profile, they choose a project track:
Entrepreneurial
Launch a micro-business. Learn pricing, marketing, and what it means to earn while you serve.
Social Venture
Choose a cause. Build a campaign. Leave the community better than they found it.
Career Pathway
Map a route to a dream job. Build a portfolio. Connect the dots between talent and future.
What they produce — StoryBuilder pages
Every child leaves with a shareable proof of what they built.
Not a grade. Not a certificate. A real URL — their own StoryBuilder page documenting what they built, who they helped, and what they learned. Here's what some students have already built.
After each Dream Chaser session, here are the questions that turn a program into a family conversation — without pressure.
After Talent Explorer
"Which talent surprised you most?"
After choosing a project
"Who are you hoping to help with this?"
Midway through
"What's the hardest part? What made you keep going?"
After the showcase
"What do you want to build next?"
Anytime
"Where did you see your talent show up this week?"
The big one
"Who could use what you're good at?"
Parent & community voices
What families are actually saying.
"Dream Chaser Kids is an awesome element to something my husband and I were already cultivating in our children. We have always said that we want our boys to have businesses of their own."
Natasha

Devin
Parent & Educator
"Dream Chaser Kids is a simple and fun way to learn how to make money while helping others at the same time. Loved it!"

Parent questions
The questions every parent asks.
What age is Dream Chaser Kids for?
Dream Chaser Kids serves students ages 6–17 across four age bands: 6–8, 9–11, 12–14, and 15–17. The playbooks, language, and project scope adjust based on your child's age — a 7-year-old running a Kindness Rock Garden looks very different from a 16-year-old building a tech support business for seniors. Both produce a StoryBuilder page. Both matter.
Does my child need to be entrepreneurially minded?
Not at all. Dream Chaser has three project tracks — Entrepreneurial, Social Venture, and Career Pathway. A student who wants to launch a small business uses the Entrepreneurial track. A student who wants to organize a care drive for a local shelter uses the Social Venture track. A student who wants to figure out what career fits their gifts uses the Career Pathway track. The program works for builders, helpers, and explorers equally.
How do I get my child into a program?
The most common path is through a school, church, YMCA, or community organization that runs a Dream Chaser cohort. Complete the scoping form to ask about programs in your area. You can also start with the free Talent Explorer right now — no program enrollment required to get your child's talent profile today.
How much does it cost?
TalentExplorer is free. When Dream Chaser runs through a school, church, YMCA, or community org, families typically pay nothing — the program is funded by the organization or through grants. When a family runs Dream Chaser independently, per-student costs range from $25 (one-day workshop) to $43–$54 (full semester). Reach out through the scoping form and we'll find the right fit.
Is Dream Chaser only for faith-based families?
No. Dream Chaser runs in public schools, YMCAs, and secular community organizations alongside churches and faith communities. The core journey is universal. When deployed through a church, language includes God-given calling and stewardship. When deployed through a school or community org, it focuses on strengths, purpose, and community impact. The program adapts to the setting.
What is Dream Circle and how do I set it up for my child?
Dream Circle is a private support community you build around your child's project — after they complete TalentExplorer, their playbook, their pitch, and their StoryBuilder page. You invite family, friends, and mentors. They follow monthly updates, make pledges of belief, and refer your child's work to their networks. You approve every member. It's the community layer that keeps your child connected to the people who believe in them. Learn more about Dream Circle →
What's a StoryBuilder page?
A StoryBuilder page is a simple, shareable online portfolio page documenting your child's project — what they built, who they helped, and what they learned. It lives at a real URL (like storybuilder.cc/istylefashion) and is shareable by link. Students use it for high school applications, scholarship essays, and college interviews. See a live example at Imani's Fashion House →
