Peer education builds on the idea that students learn best from their peers, especially about difficult or uncomfortable topics. Peer Educators are trained by the HOPE professional staff to engage their peers in relevant and relatable discussions on issues of health and wellness. Peer educators are trained in specific topic areas such as sexual health, alcohol & other drugs, nutrition, and mental health. Each peer education program has its own requirements, application, and training process.
If you have questions regarding any of the Peer Education programs, please contact HOPE at 848-932-1965.
