Discover support through Peer2Peer
Jamestown Community College’s peer mentoring program, Peer2Peer, partners you with a peer mentor to help you adjust to college life. Together you’ll navigate your first semester at JCC.
Peer mentees
Peer mentees are students who would like an extra level of support as they experience college life at JCC. Any student can apply to be a peer mentee.
Peer mentors
Peer mentors are students who support their mentees by checking in with them, listening to their concerns, helping them learn about campus resources and events, and informing them of important academic processes and deadlines. This is a paid position. Any interested student is encouraged to apply.
