Weekly Programming with Youth Birchwood mentors and mentees kicked off the semester with one-on-one hangouts on Champlain’s campus. Mentees ate dinner with new mentor recruits at Champlain’s cafeteria. The Birchwood group visited Shelburne Orchards, where youth picked Fuji and McIntosh apples to take home to their families. Current mentors invited new recruits into the Birchwood community, where they tie-dyed DREAM t-shirts with youth. Thank you for your ongoing support of DREAM!
