Hollow Drive DREAM Monthly Snapshot October 2015 Program Happenings and Highlights
DREAM hosted its annual mentor conference this month. Mentors from all of our VT programs were invited to Bolton Valley to talk about important issues with the youth and strategies for further developing their programs. This month new mentors rotated through the three Dartmouth programs to become acquainted with each community and the youth in the program. Windsor mentor Sally Portman accepted a position with the board of directors for DREAM.

Weekly Programming with Children
There were four DREAM Fridays this month. Mentors did one-on-one and small group activities on campus. Some of the groups played games on the green, baked, and did craft projects. Mentors and mentees dressed up for Halloween. Mentors arranged for activities and trick-or-treating on campus! Mentors held one of their Fridays in the community. Mentors used the community center to bake and some played games outside.
