Become a Mentor

Mentor Coaches (MCs) are experienced guides who support students through Campus Connections. They bring at least one semester of program experience or relevant prior experience and play a key role in mentoring, fostering growth, and helping students build meaningful connections. Join our team to make a positive impact and help students thrive.

As an MC, you will be involved in all aspects of the Campus Connections course, including mentor training and orientation. MCs attend Campus Connections for the entire time from 3:30pm-9:00pm one night a week, same as mentors, and help instructors with pre-lab, wrap-up and cleaning.
