Student Referral Form
To refer students to Peer Mentoring for mentoring, workshops, or involvement, please fill out a referral form. With each referral submitted, Peer Mentoring follows the steps outlined below:
1. Assess Needs and Struggles
Peer Mentors reach out to the student who has been referred and invites them to a one-on-one, face-to-face meeting where their needs and struggles are assessed. This process works best when the student knows they are being referred to Peer Mentoring.
2. Develop An Action Plan
Peer Mentoring works with the student to develop an action plan based on an assessment of their needs and struggles. This action plan may include workshop participation, one-on-one skills mentoring, or referrals to specific services such as the Tutoring Center, Counseling Center, or Accessibility Services.
3. Provide Short-Term Mentoring
Peer Mentoring then provides the student with short-term mentoring and ongoing face-to-face meetings, follow-ups on action plan commitments, progress tracking, and reporting back to those who submitted the referral.
4. Offer Long-Term Mentoring
If the student requires additional time, they may be encouraged to participate in the Heber J. Grant Mentor Program for at-risk students. This program requires weekly face-to-face mentoring.
