Finding Friendship & Confidence: The Power of EB Youth Mentorship
A simple conversation. A shared laugh. A game of Battleship. Sometimes, the smallest moments leave the biggest impact.
For kids and teens growing up with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), it can be tough to find others who truly understand what it’s like. That’s why debra of America’s Youth Mentorship Program exists — to connect kids and teens in the EB Community with young adult mentors who have walked a similar path and can offer guidance, support, and friendship.
Right now, we’re enrolling mentees (suggested ages: 8-17) and mentors (ages: 18+) for our 2025 mentorship cycle — kicking off on March 15!
Letters from the Heart
The bonds formed in the Youth Mentorship Program are lasting and meaningful. Below are letters from past mentors to their mentees, sharing just how impactful this experience has been for both of them:
