Changemaker Retreat.
A free half-day gathering for the people who make Dreamers Wish Foundation happen, and for anyone who wants to become one of them.
- 12 PM to 4 PM
- Free
- Lunch provided
- RSVP required
What the retreat is about
One afternoon. One community.
The retreat brings current and prospective changemakers together in one room: to connect, to hear where Dreamers Wish Foundation is going, and to get ready for what comes next.
The DWF story and mission
Hear how a mother's dream for the children of her village in Ghana became a movement serving kids and teens in Utah, Ghana and Kenya, and where we are headed next.
What it means to be a changemaker
What serving looks like up close: mentoring robotics students in Utah, joining community projects, and traveling on the Ghana Solidarity Trip to build beside partner schools.
Orientation to what is ahead
A first look at upcoming opportunities, from Utah classes and events to the Ghana Solidarity Trip 2027, and how to plug into the ones that fit you.
The afternoon, hour by hour
The agenda.
12:00 to 12:15 PM · Arrival and Lunch
Lunch is provided, served at the tables as everyone settles in.
12:15 to 1:00 PM · Report and Discussion
Led by the Founder: where Dreamers Wish Foundation stands, what the changemakers have built in Utah, Ghana, and Kenya, and where we go next.
1:00 to 1:45 PM · Open Roles and Local Service Opportunities
With the CEO and Board Chair: open roles at DWF, plus local service opportunities built on the "serve your neighbor in your neighborhood" approach. World café tables: guests generate community service ideas for their own neighborhoods, in their own words.
1:45 to 2:00 PM · World Café Harvest
Tables report back; the strongest local service ideas go up on the wall and get owners.
2:00 to 2:30 PM · Q&A
Open questions for the Founder, CEO, and Board Chair.
2:30 to 3:15 PM · Training: How You Can Become a Changemaker
What a changemaker does, the pathways in (Utah programs, the Ghana Solidarity Trip, July 21 to 31, 2027, and the November 18 Information Night), and the next steps after today.
3:15 to 4:00 PM · Networking: Know Your Neighbor
Meet the people at your table and across the room. We close with commitments: "What will I personally accomplish for Dreamers Wish Foundation before our next retreat?" Signups for roles and local service projects are captured before anyone leaves.
