🌟 LEND Resource Roundup: Partners for Youth with Disabilities (PYD) 🌟
We are proud to spotlight the incredible work of Partners for Youth with Disabilities! PYD is dedicated to empowering youth with disabilities to reach their full potential through mentoring, health education, and career development.
If you are looking for ways to support young leaders or find inclusive programming, check out these standout resources from PYD:
Mentoring Programs: PYD offers both 1-on-1 and group mentoring models that match youth with caring adults (often mentors who also have disabilities) to build confidence and navigate life’s transitions.
Career Readiness: Their "Learn to Earn" curriculum helps youth develop professional skills, explore career paths, and prepare for the workforce in an accessible environment.
The National Center for Disability Mentoring: A hub for organizations looking to make their own mentoring programs more inclusive and accessible.
Access to Theater (ATT): An award-winning inclusive theater program that lets youth explore creativity, improvisation, and performance.
Why it matters for LEND: Partnerships like these bridge the gap between clinical support and community integration, ensuring that every young person has a seat at the table and a path to leadership.
