About Peer Leadership

The Mission of the Peer Leader Program

The mission of the Peer Leader Program is to empower students to cultivate a healthy, supportive, and respectful educational environment through the power of positive peer influence. We strive to develop socially responsible young leaders by providing meaningful opportunities to engage with our community.

Core Objectives:

• Community Awareness: To provide students with opportunities to develop awareness and understanding of community issues, problems, and resources.

• Positive School Climate: To use positive peer influence to promote a healthy, supportive, and respectful educational environment.

• Social Responsibility: To develop social responsibility in youth with opportunities to provide community service and model pro-social behavior.

• Personal Growth: To increase young people’s self-esteem, as well as critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, through opportunities for real-life application in the school and community.

• Student-Led Initiatives: To provide opportunities for the development of student-led programs that educate peers about relevant issues impacting the school climate.
