Be a Peer Mentor
Our peer mentors usually come from nearby Universities and are typically planning to enter fields where they will work with neurodivergent people. They are usually Juniors or Seniors, and are often co-enrolled in an Internship as part of their work with us, either through their Institution or through ours.
Peer mentors receive 30 hours of paid professional training prior to starting their work with students, then additional weekly training, supervision, and feedback, along with between-quarter training. Topics include neurodiversity cultural responsiveness, communication tools such as Collaborative Problem Solving, Positive Psychology, objective report writing, boundaries for peer mentors, program protocols, campus resources, and more. This training along with on-the-job experience is an invaluable addition to a peer mentor’s college education in their chosen field.
“Working with the Neurodiversity Navigators program is challenging and rewarding! Jobs and internship opportunities provide valuable training, networking opportunities, and important work experiences that can be highlighted on your resume and masters program applications.”
