Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities visits the NYSE to promote National Disability Mentoring Day on October 15 and National Disability Employment Awareness Month. In honor of the occasion, The Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD), led by Commissioner Matthew Sapolin, rings The Opening BellSM.
On National Disability Mentoring Day, 160 disabled New York City college students and job seekers will pair with volunteer public and private sector mentors in the work place to observe a typical workday, identify necessary skills to advance career development, and learn about possible internships or employment prospects.

The Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD) works hand-in-hand with other City agencies to assure that the voice of the disabled community is represented and that City programs and policies address the needs of people with disabilities.
MOPD has developed a number of informative brochures and directories that detail programs, services, activities, and other resources that are accessible to people with disabilities.
In addition, MOPD works with organizations on specific issues affecting people with disabilities, and arrange activities and events that aim to bring about dialogue that leads to meaningful outcomes. (Source: Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities)
