The Harvard mentors are still hard at work revamping their program to make it a place where all mentors come to enjoy themselves. The new mentors have been actively engaged in all DREAMy activities by offering suggestions, participating in doodle poll, and volunteering to bring items for group activities. Every Wednesday the DREAM teens met with one of the mentors to plan their High Adventure to Nantucket. The teens wrote letters to indidiuvdla Nantucket requesting a place to stay food donations and more. The trip is to take place Saturday May 2nd, 2015. A Community BBQ will also take place on May 2nd. This will be the last DREAM programming for the academic year.. The Boston DREAM office has finished the interview process for potential DREAM summer staff and have offered 5 positions.
