PEER MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

Peer mentoring is a great way to build community. Building community is the foundation of our Wonderfolk program. Since 2015 we have grown our community each year. We started our program with two fellows and one mentor, we are now at seventeen fellows! Our alumni continue to strive for leadership opportunities, the peer mentorship program allows our alumni to help empower and support a student who is following their Wonderfolk footsteps. As a peer mentor there is so much opportunity for personal growth, development and new friendships!

This peer mentorship program is intended for Wonderfolk alumni and the current cohort to build community. The alumni mentors will provide mentees with the guidance, tips, and skills needed for the Wonderfolk program and beyond!
