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.
Applications will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis, until December 15th (or earlier, if we receive too many applications). Apply today!
Once your application is received, you will receive an invitation to an interview, conducted by a Healthy Teens staff member and a few current Teen Health Educators. This will be a chance for us to get to know each other, and for you to make sure the program is a good fit for you and your commitments in the 2024-25 school year.
Don’t forget to ask a trusted adult to provide a reference for you! Share the link below with them and ask them to fill it in asap.
