Peer Youth Mentor

As a PYM, I had my own classroom of 15 students that I was responsible for. I worked solely with under-achieving incoming freshman. The goal was for them to receive enough support to make it through their initial year at Wayne and have the ability to carry themselves through the remainder of their education at a university. In addition to holding classroom sessions, I had set hours throughout the week for homework help, field trips, office hours, and time for interpersonal mentoring and assistance. Show less
