Project Eye-To-Eye
Empowering Students With Learning Disabilities
Through the Power of Mentorship
Project Eye-To-Eye is a national mentoring program that matches college and high school students with Learning Disabilities/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (LD/ADHD), acting as tutors, role models and mentors, with elementary, middle, and high school students with LD/ADHD in order to empower these students and help them find success.
Mission
Project Eye-To-Eye’s mission is to develop a coalition of mentoring programs for students who have learning disabilities and to empower these individuals to celebrate their differences. To achieve this mission, Project Eye-To-Eye partners with local communities, public and private schools, universities, and local businesses to bring adults who have learning disabilities into the lives of younger students who have learning disabilities.
Founders
Jonathan Mooney is a writer and activist with dyslexia who did not learn to read until he was 12 years old. He is a graduate of Brown University and a holds an honors degree in English Literature. With the publication of Learning Outside the Lines when he was 23, now in its eighth printing, a book that is part memoir and part alternative study skills, Jonathan has established himself as one of the foremost leaders in LD/ADHD, disabilities, and alternative education.
David Flink, who graduated with honors and a double degree in Education and Psychology from Brown University, struggled with a learning difference through much of his pre-college education. His negative experience led him to co-found Project Eye-To-Eye in an attempt to empower others to overcome their difficulties.
