Educational Institutions

We partner with secondary and post-secondary institutions to improve student engagement, retention, and academic success through mentoring programs tailored to their needs.

Featured Partnerships

Northeastern University

  • Connected incoming and first-year students with trained peer mentors, who helped them navigate the NU college experience and connected them to campus-specific resources that align with their unique goals.
  • Early evaluations suggested acceptability and feasibility in the pilot year (Werntz et al., 2023).
  • In a new evaluation, greater engagement in the platform and with a peer mentor during the first year was associated with a higher end-of-first-year GPA and a greater sense of perceived academic self-efficacy, sense of belonging, and overall well-being (Werntz et al., under review).
