Riverside DREAM Monthly Snapshot February 2016 Program Happenings and Highlights
This month DREAM hosted Teen WAC in Burlington! Youth from all over VT came together for a fun day of winter activities. Some teens raised money for the Penguin Plunge and bravely jumped into Lake Champlain! The rest of the group cheered them on from the side lines. The day ended with watching a Saint Michael’s Women’s hockey game and ice skating! Riverside started implementing teen programming on Wednesday nights! They provide teens with dinner, offer homework help, and play games.

Weekly Programming with Children
Mentors held a mixer in the Riverside community center for new mentors and mentees to get to know each other. Mentors and mentees collected spare change from college students and raised over $300.00 for their program! The group had a blast swimming at the YMCA! Mentors took a group of mentees to the Davis Center at UVM and played a game of hide and seek.
