Opportunity for peer mentor training and field experience for national CRLA certification (crla.net) to become a certified peer mentor by learning about and providing inclusive support for students with intellectual disabilities (ID) in the inclusive post-secondary TerpsEXCEED program at UMD. Students will develop an understanding of disability inclusion and ways to support students and build friendships through a mentoring relationship.
