WHO WE ARE

Because TrojanSupport values diversity, we try our best to build a strong team of volunteers with a variety of backgrounds, representing as much of our student body as possible.  

Ranging from sophomores to seniors, our volunteers are pursuing majors including Biochemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Cognitive Science, International Relations, Business, and more. We are a team of U.S. and international students respecting and embodying a diverse range of ethnicities, religions, and gender and sexual identities.

Our different walks of life means each volunteer has their own unique perspective and experience at USC and beyond. While our experiences may not exactly align with yours, we hope our diverse backgrounds can still add a deeper level of relatability. 

Our volunteers are trained peer-counselors certified by:
