CONNECTIVE COMMUNICATION AND MENTORSHIP
Mentorship Program
Mentorship Program
"A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself." --Oprah Winfrey
​
"Mentoring a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction." --John Crosby
​
The Mentorship Program is available to disabled, EE, and neurodivergent clients aged 11-22. This program provides consistent communication with a knowledgeable and empathetic adult to encourage and support young people as they navigate their transition to the "adult world." By forming a relationship with someone out of their typical spheres (home and school), clients find an objective and individualized teammate through all the transitions and processes that occur during adolescence.
Mentorship is an ideal vehicle to work on long-term goals and planning for the future. It can also provide guidance, feedback, and problem solving for current life situations.
This program is designed to be available only to clients whose needs tend to be neglected, minimized, or misunderstood by traditional institutions and systems. Mentorship is delivered with the utmost consideration for adapted communication needs, mental health challenges, and social pragmatic challenges, making it unique among all lifestyle and wellness offerings.
How It Works
Accessible Communications
Mentees will have constant access to Ann via email and Whatsapp, and scheduled access for phone calls and even video calls (FaceTime and Zoom). Mentorship is 100% remote at this time but hopefully will expand to in-person potential when public health permits.
Consistent Check-Ins
Mentees will have at least one guaranteed check in per week, via the communication method of their choice, but can check in as often as they need. Consistency and accountability only increase the positive effects of mentorship.
Nuts and Bolts
Reach out to Ann via modernpenpal22@gmail.com to start the FREE intake process. Every prospective mentee will participate in a completely FREE outreach conversation to review goals and ensure the process feels like a fit. Once we move forward, membership is available on a flat monthly rate, with an initial 3 month commitment requested. Pricing will be reviewed during outreach conversations and payment is accepted via Venmo, PayPal, or personal check.
