We would like to invite Blind Low Vision NZ clients to apply to become a Peer Mentor.
Blind Low Vision NZ’s Peer Mentoring Programme is being offered in three locations: Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
The purpose of the Peer Mentoring programme is for those who have a lived experience of low vision or blindness to share their experiences and skills with others. Mentors and mentees would meet on a regular basis and work together on goals set by the mentee. Mentoring relationships could be focused on any number of areas relating to personal growth and development. From accepting the need to use a cane, negotiating the work place or hosting a dinner party.
As a Blind Low Vision NZ client, do you:
- Have skills and experience that you would like to share with others?
- Consider yourself to be someone who is motivated, empathetic and self-aware?
- Enjoy getting the best out of other people?
- Have time to commit to training and supervision?
We would like to hear from you.
Mentors will be selected through an application process, training programme and matching process. Please register your interest by emailing the contact person below.
