Questioning your sexuality?

                      Not sure how to come out?

    Looking to adjust to LGBT life at Dartmouth?

             Want to learn more about the Dartmouth LGBTQ community?



Then consider becoming an Outreach Peer Mentee!

Our program trains current Dartmouth students as mentors to help peers develop a positive LGBTQ identity while at Dartmouth. Outreach hopes to provide students with CONFIDENTIAL support, help students explore their personal interests, take advantage of campus resources, and find their own sense of community.


If you're interested in becoming an Outreach mentee, simply fill out the attached questionnaire. Here's what some of our current mentors have to say about their past experience as a mentee:

"My LGBTQ Mentor helped me integrate in the LGBTQ community here. He introduced me to other members of the community who were his friends and also discussed with me my concerns over food almost weekly. As such, it provided me with a means for having my questions answered, my concerns overcome, and my identity more comfortable discovered and thus made my freshman year a whole lot easier."

"I want to help LGBTQ students in the same way that my mentor helped me, and I want to be able to give back to a community that I am just discovering and that has welcomed me in a wonderful way. Coming to school for me also meant coming out for the first time, and it added a lot of stress and uncertainty to my freshman year. I learned that I could talk to people, and it meant a lot to always have someone special to lean on who had gone through similar experiences, and I want to be that person for someone else now."


Again, our program establishes mentorships with varying degrees of CONFIDENTIALITY. If you're concerned about strict confidentiality, just make a note of it on your questionnaire and we will ensure that your level of comfort is respected.

Mentee applications can be submitted whenever they are completed. However, the sooner you apply the sooner you can be paired with a mentor!

Please don't hesitate to blitz this account with confidential questions or concerns whenever!

We're here for you,
