Walt Disney World, Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade team up, sending 50 local students to Disney Dreamers Academy

Walt Disney World and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade have teamed up to make dreams come true for a group of kids. Fifty students from Miami-Dade County were selected to join the Disney Dreamers Academy, a youth development program that encourages students to pursue their dreams. It s an honor to be selected for this special program, because I know that there s a lot of other kids that could have been selected and Disney has been a big part of my childhood, said Disney Dreamer Benjamin. I m looking forward to most the behind the scenes of the Disney animatronics and the rides because I think that s really interesting. The program consists of mentorship, career exploration and other experiences. It s an incredible opportunity that they re very excited about, to be a part of and it s going to mean a lot to them. It s going to impact them now, tomorrow, next week, and long into the following years, said Boys Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade President Alex Rodriguez-Roi
