📢 Attention Indigenous Students – Last Call for Peer Mentor Applications!

Cplul’kw’ten: The Gathering Place is looking for Indigenous student mentors for the upcoming academic year.

Peer mentors help create a welcoming and supportive environment for Indigenous students at TRU. Mentors help keep our computer labs open in the evenings, providing a safe space where students can study, connect with others, access campus resources, and build community.

Mentors also assist with events, outreach activities, and student engagement initiatives throughout the year. Most importantly, they help students feel welcome, supported, and connected during their time at TRU.

This is a great opportunity to build your resume, develop leadership and communication skills, make connections across campus, and earn some money along the way.

To apply, send an email introducing yourself and telling us why you'd like to be a mentor to [email protected] by 4:00 PM on Friday, June 26.

Questions? Stop by Cplul’kw’ten: The Gathering Place and chat with us.
