Dream, Believe, Succeed is an in-school and extracurricular programme that seeks to divert young people away from serious violence through offering a curriculum of inspiring, creative experiences. The project, which won the CYPN Youth Work Award in 2022, is a partnership between a number of local organisations in Edmonton. This early intervention programme is specifically designed to align with the interests and ambitions of the young people it supports and provides a safe space for them to express their concerns or anxieties related to gangs and youth violence. Youth mentors work with young people through both one-to-one and group sessions. The sessions involve creative arts elements, for example, drama, role play or spoken word, and workshops are also delivered by industry experts, including artists, musicians and filmmakers. The programme aims to offer guidance to young people on how they may approach certain scenarios and make positive choices. Other aspects include working with the British DJ and MC Academy to develop a radio station presented by children for children and there is an additional family intervention aspect. To further elevate the educational experiences of at-risk youth, Dream, Believe, Succeed also facilitates 'Closing the Gap' math workshops, with the goal of levelling up their academic abilities and preparing them for the world ahead. At the end of the programme, there is a production at a local theatre produced by the children involved.
In Edmonton, the programme is delivered across 18 schools, including both primary and secondary schools, a Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) and a special needs college.
