Weekly Programming with Children • Birchwood DREAM spent a DREAM Friday playing games at the waterfront and doing a scavenger hunt on Church Street. • With the support of DREAM’s Teen Futures Coordinator, mentors and mentees cooked a meal for COTS, The Committee on Temporary Shelter. • One Friday, younger mentees played games in the gym while the older mentees went bowling with their mentors!
