This process has been a great motivator for the kids and the mentors to find an individual they “click” with and to make and official mentor/mentee match. • Mentors organized what has become and annual tradition for the Middlebury program, the Egg Drop, for the mentees. Participants Mentees Total: 20 • Females: 9 • Males: 11
Mentors Total: 19 • Females: 16 • Males: 3
Weekly Programming with Children • Mentors and mentees held their annual Egg Drop on campus.
