The Disability Champions Project initiated is a three pronged mentoring project designed to support young people with disabilities as they transition from K-12 schooling to post-secondary settings including higher education, work, and community. A specific focus of the project is building community relationships based on the development of mentoring networks and an inclusive approach that addresses multiple marginalizing identities including disability, race, language, orientation, religion and gender as they affect experience. The project has been developed collaboratively among individuals with disabilities, K-12 educators, community service, faith-based, family and university stakeholders.
