AZ Dream Builders - Scholarship Dinner
The Arizona Dream Builder Foundation 2nd Annual Dinner was help on Saturday, November 14, 2009 at the Hyatt Regency Phoenix.
The mission of the Arizona Dream Builder Foundation is to provide educational opportunities to youth in Arizona who show promise to the tenets of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other great leaders.
Entertaining the Dream Dinner guests were Dominic Amato (jazz artist), Gabrielle Dotson (a 14-year-old freshman at Corona del Sol High School in Tempe), Celeste Perez (a 6th grade student attending Tonalea Elementary School in Scottsdale) and Krystylle and Ben Richardson (founders of Faith Celebration Ministries and Kingdom Dancers United).
Opportunities will be provided in the form of internships, scholarships and mentorships. To that end, they recognize organizations and individuals that support those tenets while enhancing the lives of Arizona's youth and the community.
The internship program is a seven week commitment for the student and the employer. This is a paid internship program. Again this year, Maricopa Community Colleges has partnered with Arizona Dream Builders for internships. "Shape a future, make a defference," students with relevant work experience own a tremendous edge in today's competitive market.
