Basically the mentors will be 4th graders and the mentorees are Mostly 1st and 2nd graders with some form of cognitive disability (Mostly kids affected by Autism, Cerebral Palsy, etc).
Purpose is to help kids with disabilities learn skills for reading, make them more successful in the classroom and promote a love for reading. At the same time the older kids learn awareness, acceptance (Different but the same) and tolerance.
