This review of the literature considers the development of the peer mentoring program by using a transformative leadership framework. Positive relationships are essential to an inclusive, safe learning environment for all students, especially middle school students. Peer mentoring plays a major role in creating this kind of relationship and helps to create a positive school tone and culture. Using transformative leadership as the theoretical framework to develop a peer mentoring program has the potential to exposing students to various meaningful cross-cultural experiences. It provides equitable and socially responsible learning for adolescents by creating schools that value diversity and prepare students to challenge forms of social dominance in the school and in their environment as they grow.
