Eye-To-Eye

The Vassar College chapter of Eye-To-Eye matches Vassar students with learning disabilities and/or attention deficit disorder with school age students with similar disabilities.  Vassar students serve as mentors and role models for their students, aiming to foster hope and self-esteem within them.  Mentors help their students learn more about themselves, develop metacognitive skills, and gain skills of self-emowerment and self-advocacy.  In addition, mentors work with their student’s family and teachers.
