Project Eye-To-Eye mentors consistently report that they benefit as much from the program as the students themselves. Because they also have LD/ADHD, our mentors share a common perspective, one that is critical to the emotional and educational development of their mentees. This creates an enormous sense of value and empowerment among our mentors, who continue to learn and grow through their involvement. An added benefit is the opportunity for mentors to connect with each other, sharing experiences and often teaming up to help each other with college work. The life skills acquired as a Project Eye-To-Eye mentor – organization, management, leadership – provide mentors with a big head start towards their post-college life.
