We also want to encourage you to sign up for Disney Dreamers’ Academy, a 4-day long event that will provide a lifetime of success. Each spring, 100 students between the ages of 13-19 head to Florida’s Disney World for a motivational experience that offers mentorship, real world skills and a new outlook on career opportunities. During the Back to School event, we’ll get to hear from a few DDA alumni about how their lives were enhanced by attending the special camp.
All applications must be submitted by October 31, 2o21. Apply here.
