The Mentor Card
Who’s it for?
Professionals, employers, or leaders ready to support ambitious youth with disabilities in their transition to work .
What does it mean?
By holding a Mentor Card, you pledge to make workplaces more inclusive. Not just in theory, but through action.
The Pledge
Before you download your card, make the pledge.
To hold and share the Mentor Card, you commit to the following:
✳️ I pledge to advocate for more inclusive workplaces, where disability is not a barrier but an opportunity.
✳️ I am ready and available to youth with disabilities who reach out through LinkedIn, and I will respond to messages with respect and intention.
✳️ I will offer my support through one or more of the following:
- Connect on LinkedIn
- Answer questions about resumes, provide feedback or career advice
- Sharing insights about my field or workplace
- Opening my network to relevant contacts
✳️ I will conduct myself in a professional way that respects and upholds the rights and dignity of my mentees. I will not ask them for additional contact information, share photos or videos, or engage in any behaviour that could be considered harassment or make someone feel uncomfortable.
By downloading and sharing this card, you signal that your door is open.
It’s a small gesture with big potential.
How it works
- Make the pledge (above).
- Download your Mentor Card (you’ll receive a badge-style image you can personalise and share).
- Post your card on LinkedIn and any secondary social media platforms you would like– use our sample post or write your own.
- Respond to any youth who reaches out. If the youth is interested in further support, please reach out in the comment box on this page and the team can help you to set up additional opportunities if you would like.

The best career advice I have ever received is [insert your career advice here]
I followed it by doing [share example] and guess what happened?
(share the outcome of following this advice)
🃏 The advice I got from my mentors is what inspired me to share my Mentor Card.
Did you know:1 in 6 people in the world has a disability. But they’re twice as likely to be unemployed.
That’s not about talent, it’s about access. Mentorship is a step towards facilitating that access.
The #PlayTheFullDeck campaign asks: What if we change the game? What if employers were intentional about building inclusive teams?
The Hearts in a deck of cards represent young women and men with disabilities, who are often left out of the workplace.
Now tell me… Would you take that gamble and play without any hearts?
Be deliberate – Build an inclusive team – Win the game!
So I’m holding my Mentor Card, and I’m open to connecting with youth with disabilities who are starting their careers. Ask me questions and learn more about working in [insert field].
