First-Generation Programs Mentoring

Are you a first-generation college student looking for support, guidance, and community? Look no further! The Office of First-Generation Programs assists students in accessing important resources, making connections, and building community through one-on-one mentoring. Students, like you, can connect with a student peer mentor to work towards your goals. Your mentor will then work with you to enhance your experience at Northern Arizona University.

Not sure if you want a mentor or just need to ask someone a questions? Drop into our mentors’ weekly office hours. They can assist you with quick questions, resource location, and even enrollment guidance. We recommend checking this schedule frequently as the list is updated on a weekly basis.
