Workshop Acknowledgement
Please read this section before moving on with the application:

I am aware that Workshops are four-day events (Thursday-Sunday), however, Workshop Corps Staff are required to be present Monday through Sunday for training and Workshop prep. The Peer Support Specialist (part of the Alumni Support Team) is required to stay on campus during the entire Workshop.


Peer Support Specialists are provided with room and board during the Workshop. Approved travel expenses to and from Workshops are covered by PeerForward.


PeerForward Workshops are often emotionally intense experiences, which are rigorously scheduled, yet highly rewarding. The intensive schedule does not allow for outside work or projects during the Workshop.


All Workshop Corps Staff are expected to honor the potential and abilities of ALL students and understand that these Workshops are designed to foster their success. These Workshops also consist of a diverse group of students, volunteers, and staff members. All parties are responsible for collaborating respectfully and professionally.
