Aurora student chosen for Disney Dreamers program
Walt Disney World Resort recently announced the 100 high school students selected for the 2015 Disney Dreamers Academy with Steve Harvey and ESSENCE Magazine, March 5-8.
The teens, along with a parent or guardian, will receive an all-expense-paid trip to Walt Disney World Resort, where they will take part in a once-in-lifetime educational and mentoring program designed to inspire them to dream big, discover a world of possibilities and prepare for their future.
Aakilah Cameron of Aurora has been selected to participate in the 2015 Disney Dreamers Academy with Steve Harvey and ESSENCE Magazine. Participation is subject to verification and return of the required documentation.
In the setting of Walt Disney World Resort, participants, also identified as "Dreamers," learn important skills such as communication techniques and networking strategies, build confidence and create memories.
During Disney Dreamers Academy, the Walt Disney World theme parks become classrooms, where Dreamers participate in hands-on, full-immersion workshops led by industry experts.
Covering a bevy of career paths ranging from animation to zoology, the workshops do more than expose students to a career choice, they bring to life an opportunity that otherwise might seem distant or impossible.
Each year, motivational speakers, celebrities, entrepreneurs, executives and Disney cast members gather at Disney Dreamers.
