Belonging is about more than just fitting in. It's also about defining yourself and finding your purpose. As a member, The Centre for Dreams gives everyone the flexibility, opportunity and support to explore opportunities, gain new skills and leverage their talents. Our training and mentorship programs are developed to help them excel which is a key part of our commitment to working together as one team.
Our innovative programs work to perfect fundamental subjects such as life skills, job skills, social skills and academics. Each of these fundamental subjects are executed in a functional manner. As a team, we work to incorporate these subjects into all sections of our programming to ensure independence, understanding and growth.

Beyond the Label (BTL) is an awareness campaign that redefines and replaces labels in order to build a more inclusive community. Rather than being defined by physical or cognitive limits, disability is often shaped by social labels. BTL aims to challenge these labels, recognizing that character matters more than any predefined identity.
