# Video: The value of mentorship for kids who learn and think differently

Kids who learn and think differently may feel like they don’t fit in. Finding and connecting with others who understand their differences — but who are a little further along in the journey — can inspire them and build [self-esteem](https://www.understood.org/en/articles/positive-self-esteem-kids-importance). That’s the value of mentorship.

Watch as kids who learn and think differently visit Camp Eye to Eye, a program of Understood founding partner [Eye to Eye](https://eyetoeyenational.org/). Hear how they learn about themselves through a mentorship program, and how you can find a mentor for your child.
