Weekly Programming with Youth Franklin Square mentors and mentees kicked off the fall semester with a barbecue at North Beach. A big thank you goes out to Saint Michael College’s dining staff, who supplied food for the event. Mentors and mentees had one-on-one time on Saint Michael’s campus. Franklin Square youth and mentorswent apple picking at Shelburne Farms. Mentors ended the month with a Friday in the Franklin Square community, where they had a pizza party and introduced newer mentors to mentees’ families. Thank you for your ongoing support of DREAM!
