The Mentor Program

The Mentor Program pairs students who are coming out and exploring an identity as a lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender individual, with other individuals who are more knowledgeable and self-accepting of their LGBT identity. Mentoring helps people develop a positive LGBT identity by providing a supportive relationship, accurate information, and a safe person to talk with about coming out concerns. A mentor is an LGBT graduate student who has experienced, first-hand, the challenges of coming out and finding self-acceptance. They are mature, show good judgment, are knowledgeable about community resources, and seek to make a contribution to the LGBT community by helping others.

If you would like more information about this program, please contact Allison Subasic, Director of the LGBTA Student Resource Center by calling 814-863-1248. If you would like to apply for the program as either a mentor or mentee, please fill out the applications available on-line.
