Peer Mentor Program

About the Program

The Disability Center’s Peer Mentor Program pairs incoming and current students together — empowering students by connecting them with resources, services and a supportive community. Mentees gain access to Mizzou’s supportive disabled community through workshops, networking opportunities and meetings with mentors.

Become a Mentee

Mentees are students connected to the Disability Center who seek guidance in navigating Mizzou’s campus, resources and building a supportive network. Benefits of becoming a Mentee:

 

  • A direct connection to Mizzou resources.
  • Communication and self-advocacy skills.
  • A deep connection to Mizzou’s disabled community.
