Lynx Learner’s Permit Mentoring Program

Guidance for Students Transitioning into College Life

Ready to take the wheel? The Lynx Learner’s Permit Mentorship Program (LLPM) helps you navigate college with confidence and support — all at no cost.

Through one-on-one mentoring, skill-building workshops, and coordinated campus connections, you’ll gain the tools to self-advocate, stay organized, and succeed both in and out of the classroom.

Our mentors are here to guide you from the “passenger seat,” helping you avoid common pitfalls and stay on track toward a successful college experience.
