MEET our MENTORS

Who better to support our special community than those who have paved the way?!

Our Learners are matched with a Mentor to support them through issues or questions they encounter. We do our best to pair our Learners with like-minded Mentors. Our Mentors are a group of talented, intelligent, funny and compassionate individuals with great insights! We are grateful to include them in our community.

    Hi, I’m Erik, an autistic not speaking person, who enjoys Disneyland and spending time with my sisters.

    WHAT HAS COMMUNICATION GIVEN YOU?

    Communication has changed my life and I’m so grateful to be able to express myself.

    WHAT DO YOU WANT TO GIVE OUR LEARNERS?

    I want to give them hope for a better place to go for support. Hope is like the fuel to a car.

  • Megan

    Hi, I’m Megan and I love this idea of Mentorship. I enjoy helping to organize and love to joke around.

    COMMUNICATION MEANS…

    Communication brings my life peace. It has given me friendship when I have felt alone and helps me to express my intelligent thoughts. Not being able to talk has limited my life, but with my communication I feel free to explore the world.

    WHAT DO YOU WANT TO OFFER OUR LEARNERS?

    I want to offer support and insights so they can know there are others like them.

    Communication means love and freedom. I get to share my deep thoughts and feelings. Those are the greatest gifts communication and love give me.

    HOW DO YOU HOPE TO HELP OUR LEARNERS?

    I want to give them love and support so they know they are not alone. And I also don’t mind sharing my sassy attitude.
