The Harvard co-chairs and Culminating chair took part in the Annual Boston DREAMstock hosted by the Boston DREAM Office is in the midst of planning an educational event called DREAMstock to DREAM mentors. They conducted a workshop called “What does it Mean to be a Mentor”. The take-ways of this workshop was to get other mentors who participated in DREAMstock to think about whom their mentor is, try to be that kind of mentor to their mentee, as well as to remind the mentors why they are doing this service. In regards to recruiting, the mentors have gained the interest of about 7 Harvard students. These students will be tagging along with the existing Harvard mentors to their one-on-one sessions with the mentees. Since most of the mentors are graduating the mentors are integrating these new mentors to make the transition process easier. The Culminating Chair passed in an Alumni Grant to DREAM. The grant would aid in their trip to Nantucket. The teens at Putnam would be very much involved in the experience of this trip with helping to plan where they go in Nantucket, what they eat, etc. In March the mentors have 1-2 group programming planned as well as 1-2 fundraising days to raise money for their culminating trip.
