Executive Team
The Peer Support Centre (PSC) Executive Team consists of twelve McGill students, both undergraduate and graduate students. Our Executive is divided into three branches, with each Executive responsible for a specific portfolio.
Peer Supporters
The PSC’s peer supporters are a diverse group of student volunteers committed to providing empathetic, empowering, and non-judgmental peer support and referrals to the McGill student community. We strive to choose peer supporters from all walks of life, ranging from first years to graduate students, psychology majors to engineering majors, and those with previous peer support experience to those without.
Applications for Peer Supporters are now open! Please read the application guide; it can be found here. Apply at this link!
