Teen Health Educators
Through our award-winning flagship program, we extensively train selected high school students (9th-12th grades) about critical youth health issues. Teen Health Educators then work in small teams, supervised by an adult leader, to provide peer education and peer mentoring throughout the community and state with a special focus on helping vulnerable youth.
Priorities are set on an annual basis after examining the current major issues facing youth. Topics for education include mental health, trauma, sexually transmitted diseases, healthy relationships, bullying, social media safety, and substance abuse.
See the flyer below for more information about our program and how it can help you grow as a leader and individual.
The Teen Health Educator Program is an excellent way to gain community service hours (important for Bright Futures college scholarships) while making a difference in your community, and transforming yourself at the same time.
