Peer Connections

The Peer Connections Program is a mentorship program that connects first and second-year students. Designed to help you make new friends and grow soft skills, this program will help you seamlessly connect with the Prince George ²ÝÁñÉçÇø community and learn first-hand about the services and support offerings of the college.  

What is being a participant like? 

If you’re a first-year student, you can sign up as a Peer Participant and connect with a second- year student who will provide support to help you succeed. Your Peer Connector can help you access resources and student services, as well as inform you of fun student events and activities. To get the most out of your time as a Peer Participant, be sure to keep in touch with your Peer Connector throughout the semester and don’t be afraid to reach out for help.

From Our Students

The program has been of great help in my transition to college life. So, yes, I would like to continue as a Peer participant in the Spring.

I was motivated by the excitement and commitment shown by the participants in my group



Maddie

It is so organic and stress free, especially after building some trust and rapport. We had our October group connection at an Indian restaurant and it was so much fun.
