Project Description:
The University of Kansas Transition to Post secondary Education (TPE) will provide KU TPE students (who have ID/D) with well-trained peer volunteers (Peer Navigators) to facilitate social relationships with other students in academic and social activities on campus. The goal is to decrease social isolation of TPE students and help them expand their social networks through academic and personal interests. Forty-five (45) Peer Navigators will be trained through courses that each require 30 volunteer hours. We believe better well-trained peers will decrease TPE students' social isolation and increase their social networks now and in the future.
