Who and what is a Midwest Alliance mentee?
Mentees are high school juniors, seniors, and college students with disabilities. The mentee is an individual who is willing and has a desire to learn, and build skills and knowledge with the assistance of a mentor. The mentor will help the mentee achieve this by sharing his/her knowledge of resources, expertise, values, skills, perspectives, and attitudes. For an example, mentors will share what they have learned regarding academic accommodations, transition to higher education, study skills, self-advocacy, etc.
