Hollow Drive DREAM Monthly Snapshot November 2013 Program Happenings and Highlights • The Hollow Drive Local Program accepted 8 amazing new mentors this month! • To celebrate another great term with DREAM, Hollow Drive mentors and mentees traveled to the Great View Roller Skating Rink in Enfield, New Hampshire on November 16th for their Culminating Experience. Mentees are sad to say goodbye, but are looking forward to the mentors’ return from break in January! • DREAM hosted a Teen Futures Retreat in Richmond, Vermont, designed for the older teens, with engaging conversations about options available to them, career paths, and life after high school! Teens who attended also watched The Opiate Effect, an important film about opiate use in Vermont. Teens left with valuable resources and in good spirits, ready to start thinking about their futures!
