Community Engaged Learning Opportunities

Freshman Collective is a robust peer mentoring network (utilizing Mentor Collective®) designed to connect all UCR incoming freshman with a volunteer Peer Mentor from UCR to give our new students a sense of belonging and access to a peer network.

Mentor Collective conducts recruitment, surveys and matches student pairs, provides mentor training, has text message-based notes and resource referrals, provides mentor conversation starters and conversation nudges, and gives campus robust analytics.
