Peer Mentoring has a wealth of benefits, both for Mentees and Mentors.

For Mentees, it provides a friendly face to chat to, a support network, and the opportunity to talk to a student who has already been through the uncertainties and excitement of first year.

As a Mentor, you can benefit from many developmental training sessions provided by Peer Support, improve your confidence, gain experience and build up your CV!

Peer Mentoring also generates positive relationships between students, gives Mentors the opportunity to help their peers, and contributes to our friendly atmosphere on campus.

If you are a prospective student who has accepted a place to study at Loughborough, or if you are a current student at any stage in your Loughborough journey, and you would like a Mentor, please complete the Request a Mentor form. The Peer Support team will then match you with a student volunteer. Make sure to provide as much detail as you can on the form, as this helps us to create the best match for you. You will then receive an email introducing your Mentor to you, and instructions on how you can communicate and meet.

If you are interested in helping others transition to University, then this is the voluntary role for you! Take a look at the opportunity profile and keep an eye on our communications, as we recruit for this role in March for the following academic year.
