Peer Mentorship Program 

Mentees Needed! 

 

Roles of Mentees and Mentors 

*	Mentors: People with disabilities trained to provide peer support
for other Ohioans with disabilities. 
*	Mentees: Adults (ages 18+) with disabilities are matched with a
mentor with a similar disability. Your mentor will support you in
understanding your disability, provide friendship and encouragement, teach
you self-advocacy skills, and connect and share with you. 

 

What Does Being a Mentee Look Like? 

We will match you with a mentor who has a similar disability. The two of you
will meet regularly in whatever format you prefer, such as video calls, over
the phone, or in person. 

 

Mentee Requirements: 

*	Willingness to share your experiences 
*	Be honest and respectful 
*	Open to feedback and trying new things 
*	Staying committed to the program 
*	Listening 

 

Become a Mentee: 

*	Apply to become a mentee by December 31, 2024. 
*	Email questions to PeerSupport at leapinfo.org
