Peer Mentoring

The term mentor, in the traditional sense, means to be an advisor or supporter. For peer mentoring on a college campus, we think mentoring means more than that. It is about developing meaningful relationships that benefit all who are involved and should be considered a two-way street- where both learn from the other, improving the quality of life for all involved.

All PASSAGE Â鶹Ïà¹Ø±¨µÀstudents are paired with peer mentors who will serve as natural supports in social, academic and employment situations. Our mentors work with students from 1 to 15 hours per week depending on the mentors' and students' schedules.

Peer mentors serve as friends, study buddies, advocates and role models for PASSAGE Â鶹Ïà¹Ø±¨µÀstudents.
