Paralympic Mentoring Program

The U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) Paralympic Mentoring Program was developed to mobilize a team of strong Paralympic role models to represent the USOC and community programs at strategic events and assist in outreach to other athletes with physical disabilities. 

If you would like more information about this program or would like to request an athlete appearance at your event, please contact John Register.  Athlete availability is limited and an appearance can not be guaranteed.  The appearances are to support the development of Paralympic military and community programs.
