Want to meet new people and boost your employability? Apply now for the 2021 Health Peer Mentor Program
The Faculty of Health is currently seeking students for a range of volunteer and paid roles within the Peer Mentor Program for Trimester 1/Semester 1 2021.
What is the Peer Mentor Program?
The Faculty of Health Peer Mentor Program matches new students with a peer mentor during the first five weeks of their commencement at Deakin.
A peer mentor is an experienced student within the faculty who can support a new student’s transition into life as a Deakin student. Peer mentors are often matched to students who are studying the same course or similar subjects.
Apply now to volunteer as a peer mentor
Beginning university can feel daunting at first. As a peer mentor, you’ll provide critical support for students in their transition to Deakin and your participation could mean the difference between a positive or negative experience for one of your fellow Health students in their first few weeks at uni.
If you’re interested in acting as a positive influence and role model for new students while gaining relevant employment experience to boost your CV, then apply now to become a peer mentor!
Applications for Trimester 1/Semester 1 2021 peer mentors are now open. Applications will close Friday 16 October. If you have any questions about becoming a peer mentor, visit the Faculty of Health website or email [email protected].
