SANNEH FOUNDATION MISSION

DREAMLINE GOALS

Dreamline partners with K-12th grade schools to provide culturally competent mentoring, and direct social emotional instruction to support three core dimensions of a student’s development: social, emotional, and cognitive. This helps young people define their own path to success by helping them to (1) engage with their peers, school, and community; (2) improve their emotional well-being; (3) discover academic success and graduate from high school; and (4) prepare for life after high school.

Mentors are expected to work with students in the following ways:

Goal 1: Advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice.
Goal 2: Build trusted relationships with young people, parents, school staff, and community members.
Goal 3: Empower youth through social emotional learning (SEL).
Goal 4: Work together with students, parents, school staff, and community members as advocates and partners in student learning and wellbeing.

The Dreamline program is grounded in the theory that students who develop meaningful relationships with trusted adults begin to develop positive attitudes toward school, themselves, and their future. In partnership with K-12th grade schools, Dreamline Mentors intentionally engage underrepresented and marginalized students through the Search Institute’s Developmental Relationships framework to create deep and meaningful connections.

POSITION DESCRIPTION

Dreamline Mentors are the key leverage points in helping students develop a positive growth trajectory. Each Mentor works with a cohort of 15-25 students to develop a deep relationship with, partner, and support each student in setting and achieving personal goals. This is accomplished through intersections where Mentors work together with students: 1) Culturally-relevant and responsive bi-directional mentoring relationships; 2) Direct social emotional learning instruction 3) Academic support (tutoring, homework help, and in-class support) 4) Expanded Learning Opportunities; and 5) Service Opportunities. Dreamline Mentors will also participate in other Sanneh Foundation programs and/or events as needed.
