Mentors and mentees went to Champlain Lanes to bowl and eat pizza! Riverside went ice skating, late in the season, at Leddy Park. After learning last-minute that the community center was booked, mentors invited their mentees to UVM, where they ate snacks and watched a movie. Riverside co-chairs organized small group activities to encourage new mentors to meet unpaired youth.
