PEER MENTORING INITIATIVE

We will coordinate who you mentor based on similar interests and opportunities. We'll also sponsor events where you can connect with other students.

Civic Synergy, a student-led organization focused on political depolarization, is looking for participants ages 18-30 to join in discussions about some of the most important issues facing America today. From early March to mid-April of 2022, participants will engage in six sessions focused on a topic of their selection (economic mobility, environmentalism, or US & the world) that include brief, informative, and inspiring talks. Those talks are then followed by facilitated cross-partisan discussions aimed at generating solutions. Through the program, participants will not only discuss pragmatic policy proposals that they can present to members of think tanks, Congress, and other organizations but will build the toolkit to have productive conversations with those across the aisle.
The Spring 2022 program will occur from March 1st, 2022 to April 15th, 2022, with a time commitment of around 2 hours/week.
Interested students can apply here: tinyurl.com/civicsynergyapplication
