Courage, honesty, and vulnerability were definitely themes that the mentors encouraged students to embrace during Deep Dive sessions that taught the kids more about their desired fields. Chef Jeff Henderson gave insight into the culinary industry while other professionals poured into students at nine other Deep Dives, which occurred simultaneously.
Dreams do come true as evidenced through Walt Disney as well as Steve Harvey. Dreamers Academy, after all, was created after Harvey and Disney executives collaborated on the notion of a program that propelled aspiring youth forward in 2008. Steve was running a mentorship camp at the time and Disney was searching for a way to impact tomorrow’s leaders.

“My hope is these Disney Dreamers realize there are no limits to what they can achieve,” Harvey said. “All the amazing people they had the chance to hear from this weekend had to start somewhere, and I am excited to see where the dreams of these 100 students take them. That is why I enjoy partnering with Disney on this program every year.”
