Resources: Mentorship Programs

MVFC peer mentorship programs give incoming military- and Veteran-connected students a connection to an upper year student or alumni/staff/faculty member who has already experienced the transition to university. The goal is to provide students with mentors who have similar interests and experiences so they can have a supported transition into their new role as a post-secondary student. Peer mentors work with mentees to help support the transition from military service to campus life.

Existing career mentorship programs offered within your institution can incorporate a MVFC mentorship model. This type of program matches students with mentors who are community-based professionals with relevant experience and interests. Career mentoring relationships can develop and enhance the skills, knowledge, attitudes, and connections students need to transition into their new career.
