Like to mentor at-risk youth?
Like yellow and blue?

It's not too late, 14s! Apply for DREAM sophomore summer!
The application is attached and must be blitzed back to
Jayne Caron by 4 p.m. on Tuesday, May 8th.

Want some info about DREAM, and what we do? Read below!


There are two chapters of DREAM at Dartmouth. Both work with
at-risk youth in affordable housing communities in the Upper
Valley area. DREAM is a nonprofit organization that was
founded by Dartmouth students nearly ten years ago and has
since spread throughout Vermont colleges (check out
www.dreamprogram.org for more info). Mentors are paired
one-on-one with a kid who they ideally stay with for
their entire time at Dartmouth. However, at Dartmouth, DREAM
continues over the summer, so we need some extra mentors to
take over for non-sophomores who aren't on 12X!

The only non-negotiable time commitment are Friday sessions
from 4-6 at Dartmouth (if you will be unavailable more than
once or twice Friday afternoon, please do not apply - it
really disappoints the kids) However, most people spend
between 4 and 10 hours per week doing DREAM stuff. We have
community events on weekday evenings, and some hang out
times or field trips on the weekends. We strongly
recommend that you participate in our other activities, like
community classes and dinners with the kids and their
parents, camping trips, weekends at DREAM's camp in Vermont,
and various field trips.


This is a great chance to get to know an amazing kid and be
a part of the larger Upper Valley Community.


Please feel free to blitz Francie Middleton, or anyone in
DREAM, with questions. The current recruitment chair is
Jayne Caron who will be organizing the interview process.
