MENTOR Application
The LGBTQ Peer-Mentor Program trains current Dartmouth students as mentors to help peers develop a positive LGBTQ identity while successfully adapting to life at Dartmouth. The program is here to help students explore their personal interests, take advantage of campus resources, and find their own sense of community.
The LGBTQ Peer-Mentor Program consists of two separate mentoring programs each with an individual focus:
OUTreach links incoming students and current students with a mentor based on similar academic interests, extracurricular activities, and geographic location.
Questioning and Curious (Q&C) provides a number of different confidential resources (i.e. a confidential mentor, an anonymous hotline, and a secure online messaging system) that allow students to positively explore their own sexual identity and/or gender identity.
