Hi everyone! During this holiday season, the mentors of the University of Vermont's DREAM Riverside program ask you to please support our cause of healthy mentorship and friendship so that we can continue to encourage connectivity and positive growth in both our mentee's and mentor's lives.
The DREAM Program is a welcoming community that provides mentoring and youth programs to children and families living in affordable housing neighborhoods. We strive to bring volunteers and resources to each neighborhood in order to enrich the lives of each participating youth and to ultimately empower them to live healthy, productive, fulfilling lives.
Mentors are the backbone of our Local Programs. DREAM is a student-led organization consisting of volunteer mentors from each of the colleges and universities with which we partner. Mentors are charged with providing the leadership within their Local Program as well as with the goal of making DREAM the best student-led organization on their campus.
DREAM mentors are highly valued within the organization, as are our mentees. The strength of DREAM's program model lies in the fact that mentors are encouraged to join with their mentees to take full ownership of their Local Program and to DREAM big!
