Located on the traditional territories of the Kwanlin D\u00fcn First Nation and the Ta\u2019an Kw\u00e4ch\u2019\u00e4n Council, MentorAbility Yukon is more than just a mentorship program\u2014it\u2019s a testament to the power of community.\u00a0<\/p>

Facilitated by Inclusion Yukon, MentorAbility Yukon connects individuals experiencing disability to mentorship opportunities in fields they are passionate about, fosters long-lasting relationships, and creates space for mutual learning and growth.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cMentorAbility fosters a sense of belonging and connection by creating opportunities for people to build meaningful relationships in our community,\u201d shares Emily Ross, Community Education and Mentorship Coordinator at Inclusion Yukon. \u201cBy connecting people who may not have otherwise crossed paths, the program empowers participants\u2014whether they are mentors or mentees\u2014to see new possibilities in themselves and others.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Currently focused in Whitehorse, Inclusion Yukon\u2019s work with MentorAbility is helping to connect mentees with mentors from diverse fields to gain valuable insights and explore their potential.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cFor those who may be unsure of their path or where their skills fit into the workforce, MentorAbility opens doors, helping them recognize the value that they bring and new ways they can contribute,\u201d says Emily.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Relationship building with mentees, mentors, and local organizations has been the foundation of MentorAbility\u2019s success in the territory. Coordinators strive to understand the unique needs and strengths of participants and partners alike, which has allowed MentorAbility to create a network of support that continues to grow.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cOrganizational skills are quite important as you need to make sure nothing falls through the cracks,\u201d explains Lorraine Paddock, MentorAbility Hub Coordinator. By fostering these relationships, the program has been able to create lasting, positive outcomes for both participants and the wider community.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

MentorAbility\u2019s successes in the Yukon have been fueled by incredible support from the local community. While Whitehorse is the largest city in the territory, its population is only 35,000, and the close-knit nature of the city means that support and collaboration can make a big impact. Many local businesses and nonprofits have enthusiastically embraced MentorAbility, offering their time, resources, and networks to help create impactful mentorships that benefit all involved.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cEngaging with other organizations has been very helpful to get the word out about MentorAbility. We have been included in a lot of meetings and events so we can learn to support each other, and our community, better,\u201d says Lorraine.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

For Emily, the personal connections are the most rewarding part of her work in the program. \u201cThe most meaningful part of my work with MentorAbility so far has been the opportunity to connect with people on a personal level. I get to have real conversations with participants, learning about their interests, skills, and goals, and helping them explore how those could fit into different jobs.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Looking ahead, Inclusion Yukon hopes to eventually expand MentorAbility into other communities across the territory. \u201cSo far, we\u2019ve been mostly concentrated in Whitehorse, but I\u2019m excited about the possibility of reaching other communities across the Yukon,\u201d says Emily. \u201cEach community has its own unique opportunities, and MentorAbility can play a role in connecting people to these opportunities where they live.\u201d  <\/p>\n

MentorAbility Yukon continues to grow as a space for connection, exploration, and possibility, helping to cultivate a more inclusive workforce while strengthening relationships in the community. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
