Peer Mentor Program

Empowering students together

The Educational Opportunity Program Mentor Program pairs first-year and transfer students with experienced EOP students who serve as mentors during their first semester at SFSU. Mentors offer guidance, share helpful campus resources and build community, so you never feel like you’re going through college alone. 

What mentors do

EOP Mentors are here to help you: 

• Learn how to navigate college life
• Connect with student support services and academic resources
• Build confidence and a sense of belonging
• Get involved in student activities and the EOP community 

Whether you need tips on time management, help finding tutoring or just someone to talk to, your mentor is here for you

Who can join

All first-time EOP freshmen and new transfer students are encouraged to participate. You’ll be matched with a mentor during your first semester, but the relationship can last as long as you need support.

Why it matters

College is a big transition. Having someone by your side who’s been there—someone who understands your background and shares your commitment to success—makes a difference. Our mentors are trained, dedicated and passionate about helping others thrive at SFSU.
