> PARTNERS FOR YOUTH WITH DISABILITIES - MENTOR MATCH PROGRAM

More than 1,100,000 residents of Massachusetts have disabilities, and 70,000 of those individuals are youth ages 15 and under – individuals that will soon face major transitions with respect to continuing their education, obtaining employment, and integrating into the community.

Partner for Youth with Disabilities (PYD) has had a tremendous impact on youth with disabilities for over twenty years by connecting youth to adult role models (with and without disabilities) in one-to-one mentoring programs, peer and group mentoring programs. PYD is seeking to expand the number of mentees and mentors participating in their programs.
