Two groups of teens went on DREAM’s annual Adventure Sailing Excursions off the coast of Maine under the direction of Captain John Reed. The teens learned how to sail and live on a boat while having the time of their lives island hopping, getting to know each other, and enjoying all that the ocean has to offer! Nine teens from across Vermont attended DREAM’s annual College Road Trip. The teens, along with several mentors, Summer AmeriCorps members, and DREAM office staff, spent the week at Vermont Technical College and travelled around the state of Vermont touring colleges. Summer AmeriCorps Members, Morgan Beck, Mikayla Stark, and Amos Wolven wrapped up their summer of service in Franklin Square with a movie night.
Participants Mentees Total: 29
