As a Peer Educator, you are provided with the opportunity to grow personally and professionally, while developing specific and transferable skills in a professional, student-focused environment. This is accomplished through two avenues:

1)  Area-Specific Training and Experience: Gain specific and transferable skills through training, ongoing development, volunteering and timely feedback from your area supervisor.

2) Personal & Professional-Development Individually: Enhance your self-awareness, goal setting abilities, and skill development each term as you work on personalized goals in the form of an action plan. Your personalized goal is supported through three 30-minute meetings with your Peer Coach. Goals can relate to your volunteer position, education, and/or work.

As a returning Peer Educator, you have the opportunity to further enhance your communication and mentoring skills by becoming a Peer Coach. This is a great opportunity to develop skills and gain experience for those interested in careers in counseling, teaching, and management.

As a Peer Coach, support your fellow Peer Educators by aiding them in developing goal-based action plans. Specifically, help them develop, set, and follow-through with their personal goals each term via monthly meetings and timely check-ins.

Peer Coaches receive specific training for their role, as well as on-going development through biweekly meetings and workshops. For specific information, click on any of the six areas listed above to find out the details of this position for that area.
