Peer mentors are the heart and soul of Think College Vermont

At Think College Vermont, Think College students pair up with undergraduate UVM students in attending classes, learning skills, and socializing. These undergraduate students are known as "peer mentors".

We hire peer mentors on a rolling basis throughout the calendar year, but are especially interested in talking with undergraduate UVM students who are available to begin work during the fall semsester.
