Weekly Programming with Children
Dartmouth mentors held Friday programming four times this month. The mentors have been doing water activities outside, playing soccer, and getting to know the new summer mentors! Summer community interns have brought youth from Northwoods swimming, hiking, rock climbing, played soccer, homemade ice cream, and played many water games! Northwoods mentees hike Mount Ascutney and finished off the day by making homemade ice cream! Both community interns, Mona Abdelghani and Gautam Babu, have done an amazing job at getting the youth in Northwoods out of their houses and engaged in healthy activities. Nakaya Mitchell, mentee, has done a fantastic job at stepping up this summer and becoming a role model for her peers. Nakaya has assisted with serving lunches, running her own programming, and helping with behavioral challenges!
