Peer Jacks mentoring
Making connections and building community at NAU
Exclusively for all first-year students attending Northern Arizona University, the Peer Jacks peer mentoring program helps freshmen successfully transition to university and Flagstaff life.
Peer Jacks offers 1-on-1 peer mentoring to first-year students and exposure to NAU resources.
The program provides a peer network to assist in the transition to college. Peer Jacks also hosts educational and social opportunities that support a path to academic success. Through developing self-direction and promoting learning beyond the classroom, we empower students to achieve autonomy while completing their degree.
