Going beyond the peer counseling space, SPEAR's One Step Ahead (OSA) Mentorship program will continue to provide a venue for incoming first year and first year transfers to help ease their transition into UCLA through the utilization of mentors.
Through the "PEAR" (pair) system, 1 mentor (those who have been at UCLA for at least one year) and 1 mentee will gain and learn experiences from one another through academic and personal support.
Through the FAMILY system, 4 or 5 pairs will form one family and further the academic and personal support done through the pairs but with many other mentorship pairs.
Based on SPEAR's 5 student outcomes of peer organzing, health and wellness, self learning, self advocacy, and community service, pairs and families will be able to gain a strong academic and cultural support network while at the same time, form a sense of community. This community shall eventually reflect the community outside UCLA: united and proud.
