Mentoring is recognized as one of the most important strategies for assisting youth in making a positive transition into adulthood. Yet despite all of the information available on mentoring, there is very little about mentoring youth with disabilities or about career-focused mentoring of older youth.
This Guide was developed by the National Collaborative on Workforce and Disability for Youth (NCWD/Youth) specifically to address the needs of youth with disabilities during their transition from school to work and is intended for individuals designing mentoring programs for youth, including youth with disabilities, in the transition phase to adulthood.
