Experience Stories
About the MentorAbility Canada Experiences
To understand the impact that the MentorAbility Canada program is having from coast to coast, review our collection of shared experiences.
Each MentorAbility Experience showcases the coming together of a mentor and a mentee through a mentorship experience offered via a local supported employment service provider that’s part of the MentorAbility Canada network.
Get to know the stories of Canadians who experience disability, the supported employment service providers who connected them with those mentorship experiences, and the employers who served as mentors.
