•Participate in experiential learning through hands-on, out of class activities and one-on-one mentoring and tutoring sessions

•Have the chance to network with fellow peer educators, faculty, and staff

All participants who complete the LAS peer educator certification requirements receive the following benefits:

 •Certificate of completion

•Continuous professional development opportunities in the form of workshops and trainings—students can earn additional levels of certification after completing the minimum requirements for initial certification

•Participant information would be listed on the LAS Counseling Center website as a certified LAS mentor or tutor

•This website serves as a referral source for any UMD student, parent, faculty, or staff member looking to work with or hire a highly qualified mentor or tutor
