Dream MORE (“Marshall Opportunities for Resilience and Education”) is a free afterschool and summer program in Lynn where middle school students can discover fun, new activities (such as robotics, cooking, and art) within a caring community of friends and mentors. Dream MORE is a 21st Century Community Learning Center program funded in part by the U.S. Department of Education and run in partnership with Lynn Public Schools.
There are still some spots open on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the Dream MORE afterschool program. The Spring session will run from April 2 - June 9, from 2:30 – 5:15. Join us to make comic books, become a stronger public speaker, or strengthen your fitness and sports skills.
Summer 2025 at Dream MORE
This free summer program offers middle school students the chance to engage in exciting, hands-on learning experiences while making new friends. Students will identify their preferences for which interdisciplinary, project-based learning experience they want to focus on this summer (each student participates in two):
- Environmental Action & Sustainability – Investigate local environmental issues and create solutions.
- Robotics & Innovation – Build and program robots to solve challenges and enhance sustainability efforts.
- Storytelling & Documentary – Capture and share the stories of community members through photojournalism.
- Supporting Healthy Teens – Learn what helps young teens be physically and emotionally healthy, and work together to advocate for changes in the school or larger community to support young teens.
In the afternoons, students can expand their creativity and skills by trying out drama, dance, arts & crafts, and sports & fitness.
The program also includes exciting field trips to local landmarks, museums, parks, and tech centers to deepen students’ understanding and inspire new ideas. Additional English language supports are provided to multi-language learners.
Additional Benefits:
- Breakfast and lunch provided daily
- Transportation available for students living more than a mile away
Join us this summer for an engaging, interactive, and inspiring learning adventure where you can explore, create, and connect with your community!
