Are you a senior student who wants to help new students transition to university life and empower them to enhance their academic, social and personal goals – while also gaining an enriching leadership experience for yourself? The Peer Mentor program is always looking for dedicated volunteers to answer questions and offer guidance. You’ll become a trained, on-campus resource and have the opportunity to share your experiences as a first-year student while you make this great contribution to life at York.
LA&PS Peer Mentor Program
This is our largest Peer Mentor program which lives within the LA&PS Colleges. Peer Mentors support all domestic first-year LA&PS students by providing peer support in the format of one-on-one consultations, drop-in office hours, online forums or group chats and a combination of student-led workshops and events. Students can expect to be contacted by their Peer Mentor close to the start of classes.
