Hollow Drive DREAM Monthly Snapshot May 2016 Program Happenings and Highlights
Mentors had community dinner! Mentors and mentees worked together to have a cookout in the community. For the last DREAM Friday of the Spring Term mentors and mentees gathered to celebrate graduating mentors and one graduating mentee! Mentors also held a senior night. The seniors got together to talk about the challenges with transitioning away from their mentee and how to have a conversation about relationship closure.

Weekly Programming with Children
There were three DREAM Fridays this month. Mentors attended Spring Thing with all the kids! Mentees got to throw whipped cream at their mentor’s faces, play fun games, work on craft projects, and eat tons of food and candy! Mentors invited Professor Tine to run an activity with all the youth and mentors. Tine talked about the growth mindset. Mentees who attended really enjoyed the conversation and learned a lot about the subject.
