Project HMONG’s mission mission is to ensure the health, retention, persistence, and graduation success of students. We are committed to building a positive and supportive community of mentors and peers by fostering meaningful mentoring relationships, networking opportunities, and holistic support. Through guidance, encouragement, and a focus on positive character development, we empower students to thrive as leaders.

Grounded in cultural understanding and the lived experiences of our students, we focus on student leadership, professional growth, and campus and community engagement to prepare them for success both in college and beyond.

Peer to Peer Program

The Peer to Peer Program is a great opportunity for students to cultivate their own leadership skills and abilities in the context of their culture and college experience while learning about the role of mentorship.

We are looking for students who have a desire for personal and professional growth with a focus on community development. Participation is on a voluntary and rolling basis.
