Welcome Mentors!

You've taken on the drastically-needed and endlessly-rewarding responsibility of being a mentor. That's awesome. Through DREAM we have the very unique opportunity to have a dramatic positive impact on the lives of Vermont's children.

"How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before it’s afternoon. December is here before it’s June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?" - Dr. Seuss

But no one said it's easy. So, for all the wonderful volunteers in our ranks, we put this section together to help you run the best program our kids could ever imagine. It includes lots of ideas for one-on-one and group activities on Fridays, trip planning advice, fundraising tools and activities, and other cool things to help you out while you DREAM.
