Peer Mentoring
Connect With Someone Who Understands
The Peer Mentorship Program is a powerful way to foster connection and create lasting impact in the lives of people living with hearing loss. Through one-on-one support, Mentors and Mentees strengthen their communication and self-advocacy skills, reduce isolation, and gain greater access to knowledge, resources, and community.
