Okay, real talk — adulting sounds kinda scary, right?

Bills, jobs, laundry that never ends?! But at the iCan Dream Center, we’re in a flurry of activity here today getting everything ready to flip the script!

At tomorrow’s Adulting Conference, “adulting” means learning how to live your best life — with confidence, purpose, and maybe a few dance breaks along the way. 

From the moment students walk into Moraine Valley’s conference center tomorrow, iCan Dream Center’s Adulting Conference attendees will learn that becoming is hard work! But we can always have fun along the way!

Picture tomorrow’s check-in with morning music bumping, tote bags flying, and Dr. Ford and the Dream Choir inspiring attendees to dream big and believe in themselves!

Students will hit the ground running to their sessions right out of the gate! From Money Moves 101 (because who doesn’t want to level up their wallet game?), Glow Up Your Career, and Vibes, Boundaries & Big Feels — aka how to handle relationships, respect, and real talk about growing up, this is a real professional conference for young people just on the cusp of real adulthood.

By lunch time, we’ll turn up the volume a bit as the students get ready to hit the dance floor!

Small groups will strap on the VR goggles and check out the amazing jobs our friends at Advocate Health have in store for our students who are ready to level up their adulting game in the health services sector.

Some of the attendees will chill in the Zen Den for some mindful moves with Ms. Maggie!

The day wraps up with laughter, lessons, and a little comedy that reminds everyone: adulting isn’t about being perfect — it’s about being prepared and believing in your dreams!

So yeah… we’re talk about adulting tomorrow. And all year through! Because our students aren’t just getting ready for the “real world.” They’re out here creating it.
