A mentorship program for BIPOC youth with disabilities ages 16-29 years old. This hybrid program empowers youth with a sense of belonging, community, and a space to explore why their voice matters.
Participants have the opportunity to be a mentor or mentee to start a dialogue with each other through mindfulness practices,
community workshops, and opportunities to network
with leaders in the arts and accessibility fields.
Participants receive a program kit that contains access to high-quality art materials. Using program materials, participants connect for weekly sessions that support artistic professional development and community building through storytelling, creative-writing, visual arts, and interactive digital media.
A hybrid mentorship program
offering virtual and in-person sessions
Last summer, we invited our first cohort to come together every Saturday afternoon to build their own dialogue about disability.
