Peer Mentorship Program
WHAT IS THE PEER MENTORSHIP PROGRAM?
HOW CAN I GET STARTED?
The Peer Mentorship Program aims to develop the confidence and character of HTS students. The program is designed to provide a wide range and variety of resources in order for students of all grades to achieve their personal goals either academically or socially and to allow them to follow their passion. It ensures that peer support is always available by building connections between students from across grades. This is done by connecting middle and senior school students with their peers at HTS.
FOR MENTEES
If you are looking for someone to chat about anything at HTS or beyond, academic or social, there will be a peer mentor for you. To get into contact with a mentor, follow these three steps:
Step 1: Visit our Mentors page on HTS Aspire and browse through profiles to find a peer mentor that you would like to talk to.
Step 2: Send them an email to introduce yourself!
Step 3: The mentor will then follow up and arrange a time that works for both of you!
