Episode 21 - The Dream Team with Jeff and Inez
This month we chatted with two members of the Dream Team, a
non-profit organization that uses cycling to provide young adults with
opportunities to build confidence and set goals which culminates in riding the entirety of RAGBRAI. Jeff Van Genderen is the Executive Director of the Dream and Inez Chavez is a first-year member of the team. After introductions and a quick catch up, we get right into our main topic: everything about the Dream Team. We get a short run down on what the Dream Team is, what their goals are, what their training for RAGBRAI looks like, how they dealt with this year’s challenging RAGBRAI, then move into how both of our guests were introduced to the outdoors and then onto the mentorship that the Dream Team provides. We hear about the mentor-mentee relationship from both sides which was great to get a better understanding of the impact that it has for both groups. We then move into Trevor’s favorite questions and wrap things up.
It was absolutely great having Jeff and Inez on the podcast to hear about the great work and lasting impact that the Dream Team has been doing and continues to do every year. For those that do RAGBRAI next year keep an eye out for the Dream Team and give them a shout from us.
A bit more info on the Dream Team
Dream Team Des Moines is a non-profit organization in central Iowa that provides young adults with opportunities to build confidence, set goals, and create a healthy lifestyle through mentor-based interactions centered around cycling.
In March, a team of 50-60 teenagers start their five month journey to RAGBRAI, a week-long bike ride across Iowa each July. The riders work with caring volunteers to set goals, work hard, and dream big.
The bicycle is used as a tool to inspire and motivate young people, encourage lifelong wellness, and build confidence through accomplishment. Completing a 400+ mile bike ride across the state gives the youth a sense of achievement, as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals.
