YMCA of Greenwich Partners with SuperPower Mentors
Building Confidence Beyond the Classroom
We’re excited to share a new partnership that brings even more support to youth and families in our community. The YMCA of Greenwich has teamed up with SuperPower Mentors, a one-on-one mentorship program created to empower students with ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism, and other learning differences.
This collaboration is part of our ongoing commitment to providing inclusive, meaningful experiences that help individuals of all abilities thrive—both inside and outside the Y.
What Is SuperPower Mentors?
SuperPower Mentors was founded by Jake Sussman, who brings personal experience and professional passion to the work. The program matches students (ages 10 through college and beyond) with mentors who share similar learning differences and interests. These authentic connections build confidence, foster personal growth, and help students navigate life’s challenges with a trusted guide by their side.
“Growing up with learning differences, I know firsthand the importance of having healthy outlets that build confidence in and out of the classroom,” says Sussman. “Now, through this partnership with the YMCA of Greenwich, we’re helping families support their kids in powerful ways.”
Exclusive Discounts for YMCA Families
YMCA of Greenwich members will receive exclusive discounted rates for SuperPower Mentors services. It’s one more way we’re helping to remove barriers and provide resources that truly make a difference.
“Our mission is to create a meaningful and connected environment where every young person can build confidence, gain skills, and unlock their potential,” says Kelley Gordon-Minott, Senior Director of Youth Development at the YMCA of Greenwich. “SuperPower Mentors’ model is a natural fit with our values and goals.”
