The celebration took place at the John H. Harland Boys & Girls Club. Disney executives, Boys & Girls Clubs leaders, and community partners joined the students to mark the start of their journey.*
The evening featured hands-on activities modeled after Walt Disney World’s four theme parks. Disney characters also made appearances, giving the new Dreamers a preview of what lies ahead.

For nearly 20 years, Disney Dreamers Academy has served as Walt Disney World’s signature youth development program. It encourages students to believe in their potential and chase their goals.
Now, Disney is reshaping the program to reach more young people. The new collaboration with Boys & Girls Clubs brings the experience into students’ communities and trips to Walt Disney World.
The program will span multiple years, starting in 2027. During that time, Dreamers will participate in mentorship, explore career paths, and build leadership skills. They will also have immersive experiences at home and at the Florida resort.
The partnership gives the program a broader footprint than ever. Instead of a single event, students will now receive ongoing support close to home as they grow.
