Join an S2S Panel
Are you a current S2S mentor with a passion for supporting your community? Do you want to help fellow students feel seen, heard, and supported?
The Irish Language and Mature Student Panels are made up of experienced S2S mentors who go one step further - offering tailored mentoring support to students who are part of particular communities at Trinity. Whether you're a mature student yourself or a Gaeilgeoir looking to promote Irish on campus, we’d love to hear from you.
Joining a panel is a chance to make an even bigger difference, build leadership skills, and help new students feel welcome and confident.
Which Panel is Right For Me?
Mature Student Panel
If you're a mature student (aged 23+ at entry) and want to support others navigating college from a similar background, this panel is for you. You’ll help build a community where mature students feel included, empowered, and understood.
Painéal Meantóirí Gaeilge
If you're fluent or comfortable speaking Irish, and want to help other students connect through the language, consider joining this panel. Panel members help promote the use of Irish in mentoring and support First Years who wish to engage trí Ghaeilge.
