Mentor navigators are caring upper-year students from the African Black Caribbean, Latin American, Southeast Asian & First Generation Student Engagement programs.
They are African Black Caribbean, Latin American, Southeast Asian and first generation students with intersectional identities that include: Racialized, international, English as a second language, religious or spiritual, 2SLGBTQIA+, mature, students with disabilities, Transitional Year Programme students (current & former), and other lived identities.
Mentor navigators provide connections to academic, career, wellness, engagement and many other services to foster a sense of belonging and community. They also help students navigate barriers to access and inclusion, and connect students to each other and the broader U of T community.
