Sign Up to be a Peer Supporter!
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Peer Supporter! Please fill out this application form by October 8, 2021 at 11:59 pm.

Eligibility
Any current Osgoode student can apply to be a Peer Supporter, from 1L-3L! We welcome people of all backgrounds and experiences who have a passion to motivate and provide peer support to fellow students. If you'd like to contribute to making our school community a positive and open space, fill out our form below!

What do Peer Supporters do?
Peer Supporters are not expected to provide therapy, counselling, or other services requiring professional training but will be given a list of resources that they may provide to peers in circumstances that may require an added degree of sensitivity. Instead, a Peer Supporter does exactly what the name suggests, and is a friendly and non-judgmental listener when a student is feeling overwhelmed and needs to talk to someone who understands the stresses of law school and life. Peer Supporters will be accessible through our website (https://opscosgoode.wixsite.com/opsc/peer-supporter-bios) and are available to all of Osgoode's students.

Requirements
Please be advised that selected candidates will be required to have their image and biography promoted online. They must also sign a non-disclosure agreement and undergo basic Peer Support training, to be scheduled after applications are processed.

The Peer Supporter may be contacted anytime during the school year by the OPSC when there is a student seeking Peer Support services, and will participate in one-time conversations or on-going conversations, depending on the needs and abilities of both the peer and the Peer Supporter.

If you have any questions, please e-mail us at opsc@osgoode.yorku.ca.
