Peer Helpers in Training

This program runs for the eight months of the school year. It is intense interactive learning experience that focuses on skill building. As these youth are on the brink of entering the world of adolescence, we spend two afternoons a week facilitating their ability to communicate and listen to others, clarifying personal values, and learning how to make healthy decisions.

The program focus is on peer helping or leadership through service. The youth spend one afternoon a week covering the training modules. They spend the second afternoon practicing their skills working with the youth in the after school program and building community change projects. We accept 10 youth a year into this program.
