In a given academic year, hundreds of students are employed as Peer Leaders across eleven Carleton offices. These roles allow students the platform to work with staff to create programming, develop resources, and provide peer support for the campus community.
Peer Leaders can expect the following responsibilities in their roles:
- Peer leaders receive intentional coaching, engage in on-going self-reflection, and participate in other opportunities to grow into outstanding young leaders.
- Lead programs and services with peers, staff, and faculty to help create a welcoming and inclusive campus community.
- Serve as ambassadors for their offices and connect students to vital resources offered by the college.
- Act as additional support for new students during New Student Week, including leading discussions with groups of new students related to CarlsTalk topics.
- Participate in training, such as Title IX Training, Fall Peer Leader Training, New Student Week Training, Peer Leader Winter Conference and Spring Celebration.
- Positions may also involve the opportunity to mentor other students and peers, depending on the office in which the Peer Leader position is hosted.
