Pathfinder Peer Mentoring
Positive role models for future generations, inspiring agents of change!
About the Program
Pathfinder Alumni Peer Mentoring Program
​
Founded in 2022, the Pathfinder Peer Mentoring Program is committed to guiding and empowering youth on their college journeys. Through a dynamic peer-to-peer mentoring platform, we foster meaningful connections where young individuals share experiences, learn from one another, and build lasting relationships.
​
Our Peer Leader Mentors are dedicated to inspiring, activating, and equipping the next generation with the confidence and resilience needed to thrive. By nurturing leadership and fostering a spirit of community, we empower students to rise above challenges and become changemakers in their own lives and beyond.
​
As part of this mission, the Pathfinder Peer Mentoring Program actively participates in the Think Outside: Summer for Wellness Program and its workshops, providing students with holistic learning experiences that enhance their personal growth, well-being, and leadership skills.
These programs play a critical role in shaping future leaders, equipping them with the tools, knowledge, and support network to drive meaningful change in their communities.
