What is TAPESTRY?
TAPESTRY is a newly formed UAA Workforce Credential program that assists young adults
who experience an intellectual disability or cognitive impairment in the transition
from high school to college and beyond. Volunteers choose from either tutoring or
social mentoring and program staff can help you find the level of mentorship that
works best for you.
Why become a TAPESTRY mentor?
To name just a few reasons: build your resume; be a part of the first program like
this in Alaska; receive professional training in mentoring and working with individuals
with disabilities; earn volunteer hours for class credit; build friendships with amazing
young adults; and be part of a community of support for students at UAA.
Visit the TAPESTRY website and submit your name and contact information for updates on workshops and events.
