Denver Dream Center believes that there is hope and a future for all of those who come through our doors. Every person deserves an opportunity to step into that future with people who walk alongside them. With relationships comes direction, encouragement, and accountability. Dream track is a 12-week process that will challenge every applicant mentally, physically, and spiritually. Testing the boundaries of discipline and fortitude is the means to restore an individual back to a healthy mindset and esteem. We will be guided by scripture meanwhile not requiring a conforming declaration of faith. We believe that anything is possible and heart transformation is paramount to one’s health and future.
Thrive is actively in the streets of Denver making an impact in our community. The Street Team is a major part of our reentry program because it is a part of Repurposing the thoughts and intentions of former offenders. Everyone has the ability to serve and contribute to our neighbors, but many of us don't believe we actually can. Not only do we meet tangible needs in the streets like food, shelter, and drug intervention, but we also are actively reframing the common approach to social activities.
The discipleship program is our most intensive part of Dream Track but has the greatest reward. For 90 days we dive deep into finding, reshaping, and molding who we are and what we're made of. We believe there is a hope and a purpose for everyone, regardless of how dark their past is or how bright the future may seem. With intensive coaching and peer evaluation we reform the heart and the mind to be confident and empowered. We also focus on basic key needs like license, identification, job training, and job placement. Not only is the reward internal, but each Disciple receives a $150 per week stipend to help reduce the stress of reentry.
Denver Dream Center is always active in the community. Partnering with Denver Police Department, Thrive Network, and other organizations, clients receive unmatchable exposure to extroverted activities. By having coffee with different departments in DPD, men are able to hear the stories of different officers while being empowered to share their own. This creates an atmosphere where although we may be different, we are not other. Justice reconciliation is a huge part of our prosocial activity. Reentry is difficult regardless of how seperated clients have been, so stepping out and contributing to community and partners is paramount.
Thrive offers a multifaceted approach to recovery in reentry. Each individual involved in Dream Track will have an opportunity to join AA meetings Weekly. Our Street Team constantly confronts drug abuse and the harsh reality of addiction. By being in the streets sober, it can bring a sobering perspective to a former addict that helps them continue on their path of clarity. Denver Dream Center also operates many sober living communities through Spero Sober Living that Dream Track may have access to.
