Peer Educator Leadership Program
(Coming Soon)
Free to Be’s Peer Educator Leadership Program has the power to significantly influence teens in a very positive way through the use of peer-to-peer education. It has been shown that peer educators have a level of trust and comfort with their peers that allows for more open discussions.
Not only is this message more readily received through peer-to-peer education, but the Peer Educators themselves are empowered and supported to make healthy decisions and become positive role models to their peers.
Peer education leadership programs have been found to offer many benefits to adolescent peer leaders. Benefits gained from the program are often sustained and enhanced over time and the skills developed will be used for a lifetime. Our peer educators have reported an increased level of confidence, college and job readiness, and comfort with public speaking.
