Coronavirus (COVID-19) Resources for the Learning Differences Community
Learn More →Bring Eye to Eye to Your School
Eye to Eye partners with schools to deliver the only national after-school mentoring program that pairs middle school students with learning differences with similarly-identified specially trained high school and college mentors.
Join a network of more than 150 schools across the country who are empowering students with learning and attention differences through Eye to Eye’s Mentoring Program! We engage students in meaningful service-learning experiences through weekly mentoring and community-building events, while also developing leadership abilities and crucial social and emotional skills in both the middle school mentees and high school and college student mentors. Our art projects and weekly activities are designed to spark meaningful conversations between student mentors with learning disabilities (such as dyslexia and processing disorders) and/or ADHD, and the 5th to 8th-grade students they mentor with similar labels.
Thousands of students over the past two decades are living proof of the effectiveness of the program – with multiple independent studies confirming significant improvement in a wide range of social and emotional skills crucial to persisting through school and successfully transitioning to college and career. Specifically, the program has demonstrated direct improvement in self-esteem, grit, resilience, metacognition, attitude towards school, response to failure, hope for the future, and self-advocacy (among others), as well as increased awareness and utilization of resources and accommodations.
