Young Leaders Mentorship Program
Since 2015, Fighting Blindness Canada’s (FBC) Young Leaders Program has provided a supportive environment for Canadian youth living with vision loss to come together and develop their employment, leadership, and advocacy skills.
Our Mentorship Program is part of this initiative, connecting young Canadians (ages 15-35) living with vision loss to a community-based mentor. Throughout the program, mentees are provided with career development resources, guidance, and support. In-depth conversation guides and support from Fighting Blindness Canada are provided.
Benefits to mentorship include:
- Career planning
- Networking
- Getting support in coping with unique challenges people living with vision loss may experience
- Development of new skills such as public speaking, leadership, and advocacy
