Workshops & Community Service Opportunities

Workshops and Community Service Opportunities listed below are for current and past Dreams Are Possible students. Workshops are generally held at the DAP building (1311 W. Olive Street, Bloomington) and community service opportunities are generally held offsite at various locations. Click on the “Register” link after the description to sign up. Workshops are often limited to a small group of students depending on the activities planned within the space allotted, as noted. Community Service Opportunities are typically open to all past and present students who are interested. If you need to cancel once you register, please do so at least one week in advance by emailing dreamspossible2@gmail.com or by calling or texting the DAP office at 309-287-5109.

Please sign up at least two weeks in advance and plan to arrive early so we can begin right when the event starts. Thank you!
