Elm Street sent 4 mentors to DREAMstock, the annual event hosted by the DREAM office to provide mentors with workshops and sessions that aim to help improve programs. Mentors from across Vermont attended and shared their experiences with each other. Mentors brought what they learned back to their program and are excited to start implementing their new ideas!

Elm Street mentors and mentees shared five wonderful Fridays together this month! Activities earlier in October included a potluck at the community, and soccer and basketball games on Athletic campus In the second half of the month mentors and mentees spent an afternoon making slime, had one-on-ones and small groups activities and the month culminated in a Halloween party with the teens while younger mentees went trick-or-treating with their mentors!
