Peer Education

The Peer Education teaching model draws on the credibility that young people have with their peers and leverages the power of role modeling to increase knowledge and safer behaviors among teens.

Research suggests that it’s more likely for a message to sink in when it comes from someone people believe is similar to them, who faces the same concerns and pressures. Peer Education empowers teens to make healthy decisions around sex, violence, and substance use.
