Helping students build academic and career preparation skills
ASAP’s peer coaches are students who are trained to help other students with skills to assist in the classroom and beyond. Our workshops are designed to help you gain tangible techniques to support your academic, career and wellness journey in 45 minutes or less.
We break our workshops into two main categories:
