The DREAM GIRLS CLUB was formed in October of 2008 in response to the Bermuda Youth Library reaching out to Margaret to host a reading club.  At that time Phenomenal People was running a ladies support group, called Eagles Wings.  Margaret recognized an opportunity to expand the charity’s reach to the younger generation and so she decided to invite girls aged 9 – 13 to join the weekly reading club at the Youth Library, where it is still going strong today.  Starting out with a handful of girls, the club progressively grew in size and purpose: going from simply reading to Dancing, Reading, Expression, Art/Acting, and Modeling – some of the things girls love to do!   The DREAM acronym was added to the name in 2013 and the participant age was extended to 17 years old.  Margaret – lovingly referred to as Aunt Margie by everyone involved – started us on our pursuit of making dreams become a reality.  She believes that if young people are intentionally invited to create goals and dreams at a young age and guided into using the tools and resources available to accomplish them, they’ll be well equipped to continue making their dreams happen as adults

Some of the BIG goals we have accomplished are:
Made our debut in the 2013 Heritage Day Parade, which expanded our profile and attracted lots of new girls 
Travelled to Dallas, Texas to attend a self-esteem conference called Loving the Me I See in 2014 – 30 girls and moms fundraised to make that happen and had a BLAST!
Produced a fictional drama short film (The Lost Father) featuring an all-Bermudian cast and production team, including  DREAM GIRLS CLUB participants.  The short film will debut this Fall, 2021. 
Established an Educational Fund that has supported 4 DREAM GIRLS CLUB participants on their way to junior college since 2017.  Your support of Phenomenal People and the DREAM GIRLS CLUB is helping to empower the next generation of female leaders who will keep Bermuda strong as a nation.
Published our first book, Extraordinary Stories from Phenomenal Girls, in December 2019.  This compilation of 43 stories from participants, volunteers and mentors, expresses the ‘phenomenal’ aspect of each contributor and is sure to inspire you to consider: what makes me phenomenal?  There’s even a page designated for your personal story!  Read on to see details for purchasing a copy of the book.
Looking back over the past 13 years, we are amazed!  But we couldn’t get to this point without a TON of support from our dedicated team of Board Members, volunteers, donors, sponsors, and encouragers – YOU have kept us moving forward year after year.  THANK YOU for your investment in the DREAM GIRLS CLUB and for your love.   Adult volunteer opportunities are always open.
We welcome new DREAM GIRLS CLUB registrants from age 9 – 14 and Youth Volunteers from age 15!
