Peer mentors provide same-age and cross-age peer academic tutoring and social support to students enrolled in the Inclusion Program (IP) at the Academy of the Holy Cross (AHC).

Peer Mentors are encouraged to make a one-year commitment to this program. Peer mentors assist students with a myriad of skills, including writing, study skills, time management, stress management, computer skills, assignment/content modification (certificate students), extracurricular participation, project planning, and independent living skills. Mentors participate in a 20 hour May training class; are required to attend continuing education meetings twice per month during the academic year; and, write a paper at the end of each semester.
