What peer coaches do
Peer coaches welcome, guide, and engage students through common campus processes and the skills that support college success.
Share experience
Offer a student perspective on navigating SRJC, communicating with professors, and getting connected.
Build strategies
Help with organization, time management, study skills, goal setting, motivation, and action planning.
Connect resources
Help identify tutoring, counseling, financial aid, technology, basic-needs, health, and campus-life resources.
How coaches are selected
Peer coaches combine academic experience with a commitment to helping others.
The program selects SRJC students for their academic achievement, interest in helping peers succeed, and ability to understand and share effective college skills, strategies, and techniques.
