What is Peer Education Prevention Program(P.E.P.P.)?

P.E.P.P. recognizes that students can and do learn a great deal from each other. It further acknowledges that in times of difficulty, students seek out their peers for advice and assistance. Students who complete this program will be knowledgeable about the many concerns of teenagers.

These students can, if necessary, direct friends or other students to appropriate community resources for further assistance. The Peer Educator also provides and/or participates in activities that promote and encourage healthy choices within their schools or communities.
