Greeley's Dream Team mentors about 1,800 students, most of them the first in their families to head toward college or a career certificate, 9News reported. The work starts in sixth grade and stays with them through high school.
For each of the past two years, every senior in the program graduated. The class of 2026 also received $84,500 in scholarships. The station's account is about that record and the mentoring, not a claim that every graduate has a job or a campus lined up.
