Time Commitment and Availability Expectations

Peer Mentor schedules typically average 5–8 hours per week, though hours may vary based on program needs. Weekly schedules are determined by GLOBAL Inclusive staff and are based on the alignment of the Peer Mentor's availability with the schedules and support needs of assigned mentees. Peer Mentors must be available during the specific days and times when support is needed, and availability alone does not guarantee a specific number of work hours.

All Peer Mentors are expected to attend the following required meetings and training sessions. While changes are not anticipated, dates and times are subject to change at the discretion of the GLOBAL Inclusive staff. A Peer Mentor's availability to attend these required meetings and training sessions will be considered part of the hiring process and is an ongoing expectation of employment. If a Peer Mentor's availability changes and they are no longer able to attend required meetings or trainings, it may affect their ability to continue working in the program.

Other employment, clubs, organizations, and extracurricular activities should not conflict with or take precedence over required Peer Mentor meetings and training sessions.
