Peer Mentoring
Our peer mentoring programs equip students with the necessary skills to enable them to effectively mentor other students to achieve positive outcomes. At Ace Adventures we are committed to improving the support for students within educational settings. We vehemently believe that students developing other students are an integral part of this. Studies have shown that students respond far more effectively to mentoring from their peer groups.
A student who is given the skills, techniques, abilities and confidence to mentor another can achieve outstanding results. Our trained mentors are achieving success on a daily basis.
Our mentoring program can be tailored to meet the mentoring requirements of individual schools. Students can be trained to mentor students academically, emotionally and in behavioral issues. Ace Adventures will train school staff members to give them the skills to setup, implement and deliver an effective, positive mentoring program whilst supporting their student mentors.
