I Have a Dream Foundation Los Angeles mentors, their mentees, program coordinators, staff, and volunteers enjoyed a day of appreciation with recognition for all. The mentees received certificates.

The harbor cruise was created as a way to to say thank you for the time the mentors and volunteers have spent spent and for being the role models they are for the students.

The IHADLA invitation read: “Your commitment, dedication, and time have truly made an impact on the success of Dreamers’ lives!”

The I Have a Dream Foundation Los Angeles youth mentoring program continues to be a win-win for mentors and mentees.
