About PeerKonnect
PeerKonnect is a peer mentoring and student connection platform that helps schools and universities build structured peer support networks at scale. The platform matches students with peer mentors based on major, background, interests, and goals — using a compatibility algorithm that accounts for academic needs, social preferences, and mentoring style — and provides the tools for mentoring pairs and small groups to communicate, set goals, and track their connection over time. For higher education institutions, PeerKonnect is used to support first-generation students, transfer students, and underrepresented populations who benefit most from peer guidance in navigating campus life, course selection, and career pathways. For K-12 schools, PeerKonnect facilitates cross-grade mentoring programs where older students support younger peers in academic and social-emotional development. Program coordinators have a full administrative dashboard to monitor match health, track meeting frequency, and identify pairs that may need coordinator intervention. PeerKonnect replaces manual spreadsheet-based matching processes and email chains with a purpose-built, mobile-friendly experience students are far more likely to engage with. Outcome tracking allows institutions to correlate mentoring participation with retention, GPA, and satisfaction survey data.
