DREAM

Program Description

DREAMDREAM was founded in 1999 by Dartmouth students seeking to form long-term, one-on-one rela¬tionships with children living in local subsidized housing communities. Today, DREAM continues to empower Dartmouth men and women to forge these relationships both on and away from the Dartmouth campus.

Every Friday afternoon, our “mentees” descend upon Hanover and spend two hours with their mentors, enjoying one-on-one time as well as group activities. Many mentors also make regular visits to their men¬tees’ homes, in addition to going on a once-per-term “Culminating” experience, which in past terms has been at the Boston Museum of Science, Six Flags Great Escape, and the Franklin Park Zoo.

It’s hard to overstate just how positive an influence DREAM has been in so many mentees’ lives. The best part is, mentors have as much fun as the mentees do!

Time Commitment

  • Mentoring sessions every Friday from 3:45 to 5:45 on the Dartmouth campus.
  • All day “Culminating” trip at the end of every term.
