Peer Education Program

Peer Education Program

Have a teen that wants to be a health education advocate and resource to their peers? The Peer Education Program empowers youth, ages 15-19, to become leaders on their school campuses and in their community. Youth are invited to attend a 2-day weekend training to become a certified peer health educator for the program. During this training youth gain leadership skills, learn how to be an advocate and a resource to their peers, and increase their knowledge on a variety of topics such as the importance of goals and values, dating violence, reproductive and sexual health topics, and much more.

Students are also able to count their Peer Program hours towards community service hours!
