MENTORSHIP WITH SUPER POWER MENTORS
Students with learning differences are 3x more likely to drop out of college than their neurotypical peers. SuperPower Mentors is changing that by promoting self-advocacy, accountability, and real-world problem solving techniques.
Through this new partnership between Super Power Mentors and the YMCA of Greenwich, YMCA families now have access to exclusive discounted rates for this powerful program, which pairs students (ages 10 through college and beyond) with mentors who share similar experiences and interests—building confidence, connection, and resilience.
