Neurodiversity & Disability Week: February 17-20, 2026

 

Eye to Eye Mentor Program

We have an exciting volunteer opportunity open for Spring 2026 semester. The Eye to Eye program, in partnership with the University of Utah, pairs college students who learn differently with middle school students who learn differently. Each week they meet at Parkside Elementary in Murray to do an art room. It is a fun and engaging way for students to connect and provide valuable insight to young learners. No specific experience required, this is a great way to get community involvement or resume building skills!

Call to Action: We are looking for U of U students who would like to be a mentor in the art rooms. We are also looking for a couple of students who would like leadership experience to become Chapter Leaders and lead the art rooms.

Expectations: Meet weekly, every Thursday from 3:20 – 4:20 pm

Location: Parkside Elementary in Murray, UT (If transportation is an issue we can help!)

Training will be provided virtually

Interested students can fill out a registration form here or email Shalyse.McKnight@utah.edu.
