This summer Team First and Goal and Aldine  ISD hosted the "Prepare to Dream" Peer Leadership Program in Austin, Texas. "Prepare to Dream" effectively encourages high school students to become leaders among their peers by assisting them in developing the necessary tools for positive influence. Team First and Goal staff members spoke with the students about ways to combat the negative pitfalls of their environments, and also ways to inspire one another and their peers to achieve their goals through higher education or college attendance. Parents and school administrators actively participated in the "Prepare 2 Dream" Peer Leadership Program.  Team First and Goal would like to thank Dr. Charlotte Davis, Director of Guidance and Counseling for Aldine I.S.D., and Tiawana Collier, College Coordinator for Aldine I.S.D. for their contributions in making the "Prepare to Dream" Peer Leadership Program a success.

"The Preparing to Dream - University of Texas trip was a very motivating experience for our students.  Students returned motivated to do what it takes to go to college, and to be leaders with the attitude of I am going to help my peers go to college too.  First and Goal is the leader in building student leaders.  Thanks for an awesome experience."
