Willowbrook DREAM Monthly Snapshot November 2013 Program Happenings and Highlights One Willowbrook teen attended DREAM’s Teen Futures Retreat in Richmond, VT. She joined DREAM teens from across the state to learn more about life after high school, practice writing for college essays, and watch and discuss The Opiate Effect, a short film about opiate use in Vermont. The Willowbrook Local Program welcomed three new mentees and three new mentors to DREAM this month. DREAM is excited to announce that mentor Emily Leader will be this year’s Field Work Term intern!
