Why volunteer to be a Mentor?
- Enhance your connection to the school by getting to know peers and academics.
- Enhance personal and professional skills as a team leader and community builder.
- Consult with the First Year Student Experience Coordinator as you develop a career-readiness plan from the workplace capacities you demonstrate.
- Cultivate your social life on campus in regular and intimate get-togethers, pizza provided!
- Add to your resumé with a paid opportunity streamlined with your study commitments on campus. (Please note: for accessibility, one to two mentoring groups will be hosted online for students living 1.5 hours or more away by public transport).
How much time will being a Mentor take?
- Two hours of training time in early September
- Four peer mentoring sessions of 1.5 hours each, spaced out across the trimester
- Two 1-hour mentors’ sessions with the program lead (the First Year Student Experience Coordinator)
- One celebratory get together near the end of term!
