Do you identify as having a disability?
At MentorABILITY, we define “disability” very broadly, spanning from physical disabilities to learning disabilities to mental health and
health conditions. Many of our mentees are interested in being matched with someone with similar disabilities or challenges as
themselves, so the more we know about your background and desired accommodations, the better we’ll be able to find a match that’s
empowering for both sides.
