Become a Peer Mentor with MentorLink

Mentorlink is a program that connects incoming students with mentors like you—someone who’s been in their shoes and knows first hand what it’s like to navigate life at UW-Stout. Your experience and guidance can make a lasting impact!

How MentorLink Works:

Time Commitment:

  • The time commitment is very minimal. We recommend connecting with your mentee at least once per month.
  • The program runs through April 2026, but you’re welcome to stay connected with your mentee(s) beyond that.
  • Mentors will be matched with 3-5 students who have similar interests.

Matching Process:

  • Mentors and mentees complete a survey about their background and interests.
  • Mentor Collective matches students and peer mentors based on what matters most to them.
  • Once matched, you and your mentee decide how to stay in touch—via email, phone, video chat, text, or in person.

Sign-Ups Are Open NOW!
