Weekly Programming with Children
Mentors kicked off the semester with a field day in the community! Elm Street, Salmon Run, and Riverside gathered at North Beach for a fun afternoon of games. New mentors were able to meet the kids and choose which program they wanted to join. Mentors and mentees participated in a scavenger hunt at UVM. A group of younger mentees enjoyed the afternoon at Zachary’s playing games. A group of mentors went to watch their mentees play soccer.
