 Application: Mentor
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Peer to Peer serves to connect students to a community and resources
through our Mentors. From as little as one hour a week to as much involvement
as you desire, we offer many opportunities to engage your community. Members
lead and learn from one another as we work to succeed in school, balance our
lives, and achieve our goals. Additionally, students who participate in the
program have a valuable addition to their scholarship applications and resumes.
PROGRAM COMPONENTS
Our program can be broken down into its major components:
 Small Group Mentoring where we meet for one hour a week for
professional development, discussions, networking, and goal setting.
 Leadership training for Mentors who wish to contribute their ideas and
lead workshops in exchange for a letter of recommendation.
 Workshops covering topics such as student success and learning styles.
 Community engagement to positively impact our society.
 E-mentoring through ANGEL to assist students with scheduling conflicts.
 One-on-one mentoring for students wanting extra assistance.
 Institute for Extended Learning Outreach for those considering SCC.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
