They need to be approachable, empathetic, and good communicators. They need to be able to listen and offer support without judgment. They should also have a positive attitude and be willing to invest time and effort into building relationships with the new students.

Overall, the goal is to create a sense of belonging and community for the new students. By connecting them with older students who can relate to their experiences and provide guidance, the transition to middle or high school can be much smoother and more successful.

Peer mentorship programs like the one developed by the Boomerang Project can make a significant difference in the lives of incoming students. By fostering relationships between older and younger students, schools can create a supportive and inclusive environment where all students feel valued and supported.

As educators, it is important to recognize the challenges that new students face during the transition to middle or high school. By providing them with the necessary support, information, and connection, we can help them navigate this challenging time with confidence and success.

Peer mentorship is a crucial aspect of a student’s academic journey, and it is essential that it starts at the beginning of the school year. Adults often focus on registration on the first day of school, but for students, it’s about establishing relationships. Research shows that when students feel connected to their school and peers, they perform better academically.

To calm new students’ first-day jitters, peer mentors play a vital role. They create a safe space for new students and initiate contact to make them feel welcome. Peer leaders are trained to take responsibility for all students, regardless of grade level, and provide support and guidance.

Connecting with new students throughout the year is equally important. Peer leaders are trained to teach various lessons, such as study skills, making lasting friendships, and integrity. They also organize social activities to maintain a bond with their mentees.

Educators should trust their students more and involve them in peer mentorship programs. Students are not apathetic; they are uninvited. By creating a structure for students to be kind, mentor each other, and support one another, they will rise to the occasion. Peer mentorship is a powerful tool that can enhance students’ academic and social experiences, ultimately leading to a more positive school environment.
