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 begins with a 3-day residential Leadership Retreat that includes workshops on leadership, resilience, academic mindset, social and cultural capital, and career development.
Career planning activities continue through the year and the mentors and mentees keep in touch through monthly in person meetings and weekly mobile mentorship application communication.
