Become a member of our Peer Education Team,
providing the programs outlined below to children in the
population we serve.
Any of the lessons listed below (except for the
classes offered to grades 7 - 12) fit nicely into many existing
youth program meetings.
All programs are approximately 30-60 minutes
long, and they are easy and fun to present. You will interact
with children from pre-school through elementary school and make
a lasting difference in their lives. As a peer educator, you’ll
learn valuable leadership, organizational and teaching skills.
Once trained, you’ll be matched with groups in your community
interested in learning one of the outlined programs. Don’t pass
up this fantastic opportunity! This is
a great chance to earn leadership or service hours while working
interactively with young children to help teach them valuable
life skills! |
