Mentoring
Our agency is uniquely positioned to offer a Mentor Programme for
youth with physical disabilities. We bring an established relationship
with the world of adults with physical disabilities and a historical
relationship with groups serving youth with physical disabilities. Our
grass roots approach to community development has garnered the
support of parents and organizations serving youth with disabilities and
there is an air excitement within the adult disability community regarding
this opportunity to impact the younger generation. We believe that we
can best serve adults with physical disabilities by bringing the
knowledge and experience we have gained over 30 years to the world
of young people with physical disabilities.

The K-W Access-Ability Mentor Programme matches youth with
physical disabilities to adults with physical disabilities in a one-on-one
mentor relationship within the communities of Kitchener, Waterloo,
Cambridge and the Townships of Wellesley, Wilmot and Woolwich. An
advisory committee representing various community partners and
programme stakeholders provides support to the programme in its
ongoing development and evaluation, and acts as a conduit between
the programme and the community.
If you are an adult with a disability, a teen with a disability, or a family
member, please contact Chris Hodnett to learn how you can
be involved.
