Peer Navigator (open to all)

Peer Navigator

Time Commitment: Approx. 2–3 hours per week

Description

The Peer Navigator connects students to basic needs resources, including the Student Basic Needs Coalition's Navvy benefits screener, through a mix of one-on-one conversations and broader campus outreach. This role combines the relationship-based work of connecting students to support in the moments they need it with occasional, more visible outreach that builds awareness across campus.

Ideal Student

A student who's comfortable both in individual conversations and in more public-facing settings like tabling or presenting, and who wants a paid role focused on connecting peers to basic needs support.

Example Activities

• Mentioning Navvy and basic needs resources in one-on-one conversations with peers
• Making warm handoffs to Navvy or other resources when a student's need comes up
• Displaying Navvy flyers, resource cards, or QR codes in shared campus spaces
• Tabling or hosting an occasional outreach activity at a high-traffic location
• Presenting to a student organization, class, or residence hall periodically
• Creating or sharing content (a social post, flyer, or testimonial) to raise awareness

Required Meetings

• Monthly virtual cohort meeting: 3rd Friday of each month
