On this edition of See Kierra’s stats we take a look at the Parents Committee attendance for 2025 (a new offering we created one year ago). Last year, we had 31 parents subscribed and focused on zoom sessions with different topics. this year we hope to incorporate more in-person parents networking opportunities (like our Jan 2026 respite event), in conjunction with the monthly zoom sessions. We currently have 35 parents in this group, an increase from last year!

We just confirmed our next Parents Support Zoom session for Sunday April 26th and the topic will be “Transportation Advice/Options for Youth and People with Disabilities” led by our very own SKS Board Member Rachel Goldschmidt.

“I want to serve a community that I identify with. It was rewarding to see our participants involved in the SKS 2026 Donor Dinner, and their positive energy was infectious. That energy is one of the reasons why I joined the SKS board!”

Making Dreams Reality

MISSION: Dreams For Kids DC provides life-changing activities that empower youth with physical and developmental disabilities to unite with their peers and realize their potential.

VISION: All too often youth with disabilities are isolated and don't have adequate opportunities to partake in physical activities that other children are able to experience daily. We differentiate ourselves from our competitors by the quality and abundance of volunteer support we offer. Each of our clinics ensures a 1:1 ratio of volunteer to participant.

PROGRAMS OVERVIEW

DFKDC Clinics DFKDC clinics are adaptive clinics held once or twice a month for children with disabilities aged 4 – 24. Through our events, those with physical and developmental disabilities are able to come off the sidelines and unite with their peers. A lot of these children have been bullied in schools, and are left out of activities with able-bodied children. The empowerment and self confidence gained through the clinic will carry over from the field to the home, classroom, and the community, allowing them to realize that their disability will not prevent them from fulfilling their dreams. Each child is partnered with a volunteer to learn the essence of teamwork, have a mentor, and also bond over a sense of camaraderie.
