Become a Peer Advocate
About Training
Any undergraduate student pursuing any area of study is eligible to apply to the training program. Peer advocates must apply to participate in our training program (involving 5-8 hours of work per week over 10 weeks) and successfully complete this program the semester immediately before they serve as peer advocates. We can accept only a limited number of students to our training program. Minimum qualifications for acceptance to train are listed below.
Applications for the training program open on the first day of the semester. Students interested in becoming a new peer advocate for Spring 2026 must successfully complete training during the Fall 2025 semester. Fall 2025 training applications, including submission of an unofficial transcript and reference information to Dr. Katz via email, were due by noon on Th Sept 4. Applicants were contacted soon after the application deadline for interviews. No late or incomplete applications can be considered. We offer training every fall and spring semester.
