Peer Leadership

PEER Leadership –Modeling the Six Pillars of Character, The Holmdel High School Peer Leadership Program provides students the opportunity to develop and practice leadership and action skills in a social setting. The course encourages students to be the catalysts for change, offering opportunity to develop awareness and understanding of social issues, problems, and resources. A rigorous curriculum demonstrating 21st Century Life Skills will include team building activities, small and large boundary breaking, public speaking, district-wide peer mentoring, and collaborative interaction with our Team UNIFY program. Social responsibility is integrated through community service initiatives that promote positive peer influence. In facilitating community partnerships with local Non-Profit Organizations, including (but not limited to) Ronald McDonald House, NJSO and Bridges at the Shore, social responsibility will be extended. Peer leaders engage in interactive team building, problem solving, conflict resolution, time and organizational management objectives. With increased self-esteem, students educate peers on relevant issues that impact the school and community.
