Executive Summary
The idea for this White Paper came from participants in a National Disability Mentoring Roundtable, held in Washington DC in January 2017. It is intended to provide background on the practice and impact of disability mentoring, the policies that support it, and a Call to Action to expand the field. The White Paper also covers the history of disability mentoring and profiles the National Disability Mentoring Coalition (NDMC). Content is divided into the following sections:
• Current State of Disability Mentoring
• Impact of Disability Mentoring
• Policy Agenda
• Call to Action
• Appendices
• History of Disability Mentoring
• NDMC Mission & Core Activities
• NDMC Accomplishments
• Mentoring Roundtable Participant List
• NDMC Members & Sponsors
Based on the collective experience of NDMC Members, we believe that disability inclusion is furthered in our communities by sharing lived experience. Mentoring is one of the most effective channels for such sharing, and it substantially benefits both the mentee and mentor.
