Are you a new or continuing student who would like help on your journey through Los Angeles Pierce College (LAPC)? Read more about how you can sign-up to have a mentor from the Peer to Peer Mentor Program.

The Peer to Peer Mentor Program's Mission is to support the transition of students into LAPC by providing support, information, and guidance to increase student success academically, socially and emotionally.

Through committed service, peer mentors enrich the college experience by being supportive, approachable, and positive role models for students.

Diversity, Integrity, Community, Commitment to Student Success

Our program is made up of 14 peer mentors who are experienced LA Pierce College students. Peer Mentors are trained to:

  • Provide support & direction to new students
  • Encourage students’ engagement in their academics
  • Identify needs & connect students with relevant campus resources & information
  • Empower students to take ownership of their learning & success

Each mentor works with their students' schedules to set up one-on-one meetings held on campus.

  • Benefit from one-on-one meetings with your peer mentor by addressing your questions/concerns about college, academics, goals, or personal challenges.
  • Receive information about resources and events on campus such as ASO clubs, scholarships, or workshops to help make your college experience more meaningful.
