Journey Leader Mentors (JLMs) support in a leadership position responsible for coaching and training a group of student Journey Leaders. JLMs serve as a logistical team working to ensure all programs are set-up and executed properly. Additionally, JLMs support new students and families with their transition into CU by participating in the Buff 2 Buff program, orientation mentoring appointments and supporting events such as Fall and Spring Welcome, Family Weekend and other programs year round. JLMs participate in NSFP meetings during business hours, with additional time outside of that devoted to projects and new student support.
