Urban and metropolitan universities attract individuals from a rich diversity of backgrounds, perspectives and experiences with the promise of helping them achieve their academic and professional goals. In order to ensure that all our students can fully participate in and benefit from the post-secondary experience, institutions are seeking ways to provide supports that help them navigate these complex environments. Peer mentoring is one effective strategy for this. The authors in this issue, drawing upon examples from universities across the country that vary in scale and scope, highlight innovative peer mentoring programs designed for students who have served in the military, are first-generation in their family to attend college, have a disability, are immigrants, and belong to a racial or ethnic minority group. Collectively, they show how peer mentoring enriches learning experiences for students.

About Philadelphia LISC
Philadelphia LISC is one of 31 local offices of Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), a national nonprofit community development organization and CDFI. Overall, LISC has invested $17.3 billion in neighborhoods and rural communities across the United States.

In Philadelphia, LISC is a catalyst for community change, working with partners on the ground to strengthen neighborhoods and improve the lives of residents. We combine corporate, government, and philanthropic resources and have invested more than $400 million (and leveraged $1.4 billion) in Philadelphia’s neighborhoods to build or preserve more than 8,150 affordable homes and to develop more than 2 million square feet of retail, community and educational space since 1980. Our goal is to create neighborhoods of choice and opportunity, where every resident has a chance to thrive.

The Citywide Out-of-School Time (OST) Initiative is developing a shared, coordinated and inclusive OST system that reaches ambitious goals on behalf of Philadelphia’s young people. This is a cross-sector, holistic initiative that is working to align various OST efforts from city departments as well as other existing and potential OST stakeholders. The OST Initiative Coordinator is a new position that will be focused on helping to implement Philadelphia’s Citywide OST Initiative. While this new position will report directly to the Citywide OST Initiative Director, s/he will work in
close collaboration with the Department of Human Services’ OST team as well as the other members of the OST Steering Committee.

This is a new phase of work that builds upon current and past investments in Philadelphia’s OST community. This effort is also rooted in the national afterschool systems building work of the Wallace Foundation. The Initiative’s nine-year plan looks to harness the power of all OST stakeholders to realize the full potential of Philadelphia’s OST. The guiding documents for this Initiative can be found here.
