Riverside DREAMers celebrated the end of summer programs with a barbecue in the community. A huge thank you goes to the Burlington Parks and Recreation Department who helped make this event possible. This month, DREAM said goodbye to Summer Community Interns, Johanna Fehrs and Dan Dailey, but we are very excited to have Dan returning as a mentor this fall. University of Vermont students returned to campus on August 26th ready for another wonderful semester of DREAM activities.
