For Students
Go beyond the first-year college experience with one-on-one peer mentoring.
A lot of college support resources end after the first-year experience. CHESS will extend that support through peer mentorship that partners minoritzed men entering their sophomore year at Moorpark College with rising juniors and seniors at Cal Lutheran.
The program will begin with a 3-day residential Leadership Retreat in summer 2019. It will include workshops on leadership, resilience, academic mindset, social and cultural capital, and career development.
Career planning activities will continue through the year and the mentors and mentees will keep in touch through monthly in person meetings and weekly mobile mentorship application communication.
