Community Connections is a year long mentorship program designed to provide students with a customized peer support. The program is open to anyone who may be looking for more support during their university experience. Students who decide to participate in the program will be able to:
- Access peer-to-peer support on an ongoing basis
- Further understand resources and services on campus and their purposes
- Participate in activities designed to further enhance a sense of belonging on campus
- Discuss challenges, highlights, goals, and areas of growth with a trained Peer Mentor
Community Connections is partnered with the Centre for Indigenous Initiatives and Health and Counselling Services to expand the program’s reach and provide multiple partner streams for specialized peer support.
How does it work?
If you would like to participate, you will have a chance to meet with a mentor weekly or bi-weekly. At the beginning and end of your participation you will meet with the Mentorship Coordinator and complete a questionnaire to ensure you are receiving the support you are hoping for by signing up, and that you have the skills and resources to be successful and supported after the program is over.
