Queer Mentoring Program - The Q Centre’s Queer Mentoring initiative strives to provide sexual and gender minority undergraduate students with opportunities to empower themselves by pairing them with established, queer-identified role models (ie. graduate students, alumni, staff or faculty members). The mentees will work with their mentors to set, and work towards, professional and social goals. These include goals related to coming out, identity, networking, friendship, dating, volunteering, working, other extracurricular activities, stress, relationship issues, and health and wellness.
The program runs from September to April. Mentees must be registered as full-time undergraduate students at the University of Calgary. Their minimum time commitment is 8 hours. Mentors must be graduate students, alumni, faculty, or staff members at the University of Calgary. They can also be Students’ Union staff members. Their minimum time commitment is 7 hours.
