DREAM Group Mentoring

In Spring semester of 2023, DREAM experimented with a new type of mentoring called "group mentoring." In this model, one or two mentors would meet with a group of five to ten students. The DREAM Board created monthly discussion prompts, but mentors and mentees had complete control of how often they met, how the meeting would happen, what they would do or discuss, etc.

In June, 2023, the DREAM Board collected feedback about the group mentoring model. During the summer of 2023, the Board is evaluating whether to continue with group mentoring again in 2024. Check back in September, 2023, to learn more.
