Des Moines Public Schools Community Education

DMPS Community Education serves as an outreach arm which strengthens the community through educational, cultural and recreational opportunities.

Stronger Families. Stronger Community.
Dream Center partners with Des Moines Public Schools Community Education to expand access to safe, enriching opportunities for youth and families throughout the city. Through this collaboration, community members of all ages are connected to after-school programs, enrichment activities, recreational opportunities, and skill-building experiences that support personal development.
A Dream Pairing
This partnership also creates meaningful touchpoints with families. As students engage in Community Education programs, Dream Center is able to offer additional resources such as food assistance, family support services, mentoring, and faith-based encouragement. Together, they are building stronger neighborhoods by ensuring that children have consistent access to positive role models, healthy activities, and practical support that helps them thrive in school and in life.
