DREAM’s annual Time of Wonder Sailing trip happened this month! Youth went sailing off the coast of Maine for a week. This month DREAM welcomed three new AmeriCorps VISTA members to the team! Julia Dillavou, Kelsea Moulton, and Tiffany Trowbridge-Bernard will serve as Program Empowerment Directors with our other 10 programs throughout Vermont. Summer community members and summer mentors have been working hard to recruit more youth from Windsor Village. Two new youth have joined DREAM this month!

Weekly Programming with Children
Mentors had three DREAM Fridays this month. Mentors and mentees played games on the green, went to a petting zoo, and participated in a scavenger hunt around campus! For summer culminating, mentors brought all the mentees to Storr’s Pond and had a BBQ. Youth went to the ocean at the end of the summer with Gautam Babu. For some of the youth, it was the first time they have seen the ocean and their first experience swimming in the freezing water!
