The Alumni Fund at the Phoenix Dream Center helps girls and young women take their next step toward success, after receiving healing in our recovery program.
Here is how the Alumni Fund works.
During a young woman’s time in the healing program at the Phoenix Dream Center she earns credits, similar to earning college credits. The credits are based on milestones that she achieved in the program. Days of healing, classes completed, volunteer projects, career developments, educational achievements, and other development milestones all count toward these credits.
When the girl or young woman completes the program, she will have around 5,000 credits. As she moves out into the world she is matched up with her Mentor Team, and these credits turn into dollars, thanks to donors who give to the Alumni Fund.
So each girl or young woman leaves our program with at least $5,000 to help her rebuild her life.
This $5,000 is managed by the Mentor Team and used to help each girl make a successful transition.
