There will always be a reason why you meet people. Either you need them to change your life or you're the one who helps to change theirs.
The PsyMORE Program was established to provide community college students and underclassmen a helpful hand when beginning their journey into the exciting world of Psychology. Through this peer mentoring program, our goal is to empower and motivate students to take an active role in their academic progress through outreach and education, as well as help navigate and guide them to have a successful journey in the field of psychology. Mentors will provide a much-needed connection to the realities of seeking a Bachelors degree in Psychology and what is to be expected for scholarly endeavors beyond the undergraduate level. The ultimate goal is to link students with the resources and guidance they need to successfully develop academically. All those seeking knowledge about Psychology as a major, research, and the challenges associated with moving on to a four-year university are welcomed.

What is a Mentor?
A mentor is a trusted counselor and guide. They provide guidance in an relatable and respectful manner to promote the success of others. Their ultimate goal is to share common experiences and act as role models for future endeavors.

​
Why is peer mentoring important?
Peer mentors are individuals that have recently traveled in your shoes. They are on the path to success but still remember the days when they were intimidated and needed help. They are knowledgeable and experienced peers that can relate and pass on the wisdom they have gained in their academic ventures.
