Eye to Eye National

Eye to Eye is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the educational experiences and outcomes of students with learning and attention differences. Our near-peer mentoring program focuses on pairing middle school or high school/college students in an art room setting. Eye to Eye's in-person curriculum emphasizes critical social-emotional skills like metacognition and self-esteem, giving students self-awareness and confidence, traits that drive academic and life success. This spring, Eye to Eye will be launching a club-based model for high school and college students to promote community, advocacy, and leadership, as well as professional learning workshops for educators to help them best support their students in the classroom.
