Would You Like To Mentor or Help Recruit The Next Generation of Terps?

Are you an Terp looking to make an impact on your local community?

MentorMe mentors will be paired with an incoming first-year student to aid their transition to the University of Maryland.

Through a one-on-one mentorship, mentors will be able to develop leadership skills to make an impact on the UMD community.

Peer2Peer (P2P) will give current University of Maryland students the opportunity to be involved as peer ambassadors in recruitment efforts in urban, diverse communities such as Prince Georges County, Baltimore City, Baltimore County and Washington D.C. We are seeking student volunteers who are willing to give their UMD testimony and travel with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to not only represent UMD, but to also support prospective students as they navigate and complete the application process at UMD.

We know that the need for tutors will be very high due to the constant adjustments and the lack of resources provided to the community. This is especially true for Black, Latinx, students from low-income families, and students with disabilities who have been hit the hardest and are falling behind.If you are able, please consider volunteering at least an hour of your time to tutoring these students and serving as a role model. The program is completely virtual!
