A local nonprofit organization is inviting students and families to learn more about a unique educational opportunity planned for 2027.

Dreamers Outreach, Inc. announced plans for an educational and inspirational trip to the Obama Presidential Library in June 2027. The organization says the trip is designed to expose young people to leadership, history, education, and service while encouraging them to pursue their goals and dreams.

According to the organization, 10 students in grades 8 through 12 will be selected to participate in the experience.

An informational meeting for interested students and parents is scheduled for August 8 at 2 p.m. at Kuzzins, located at 105 Hemlock Street in Summerville. Organizers will discuss trip details, expectations, and future planning efforts.

Dreamers Outreach is also seeking community support for the project. The organization is encouraging parents and volunteers interested in serving as chaperones, sponsors who would like to support a student, and community members willing to assist through donations and fundraising efforts to get involved.

Organization leaders say community support will be essential in making the educational trip a reality and creating a meaningful experience for participating students.
