Jobs and Internships

Our Peer Mentors

Our peer mentors (Navigation Assistants) usually come from nearby Universities and are typically planning to enter fields where they will work with neurodiverse 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 24 hours of classroom training prior to starting their work, then additional weekly training and feedback, along with between-quarter training. Topics include neurodiversity cultural responsiveness, communication tools such as Collaborative Problem Solving, 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.
