Lead the Conversation

Sometimes, the person a teen will listen to most is another teen. That’s why peer educators are so powerful! You get the questions, you speak the language, and you can help your friends get the real, honest info they need in a way that just makes sense.

Teen Empower

SHAPE Peer Educators

Teens teaching their younger peers is an incredibly effective tool, and we have experienced great results. Along with the peer education training, our team of high school students is taught more in-depth lessons related to sexual health. As a result, they become advocates for others in their own schools and communities.
