Resources: mentoring

“Show me a successful individual, and I’ll show you someone who had real positive influences in his or her life.” — Denzel Washington

Mentoring is a valuable opportunity for anyone — but it is particularly impactful for deaf youth. Mentoring opportunities offer valuable experiences that contribute to personal, academic, and career development for deaf youth.

If your goals are to create more opportunities and positive experiences for deaf youth, a well-designed mentoring program can help you achieve those goals, provide countless benefits for learning and growth, and fill a need — since such programs are in high demand, yet in short supply.

The third annual Engage for Change | state convening at the National Deaf Center on June 17-19, 2019, will gather more than 80 leaders from 39 states to collaborate on improving deaf education and employment throughout the United States.
