Peer Helpers

Club Description:

The Peer Helpers program trains students to support their peers effectively by developing essential life skills. Through training in eight key communication skills and practicing in mock scenarios, Peer Helpers learn how to listen, guide, and assist others with empathy and confidence.

In addition to communication, students study problem-solving techniques, decision-making strategies, and the basics of human behavior as they relate to tutoring, mentoring, and conflict resolution. After completing nine weeks of training, Peer Helpers are assigned roles as tutors, mediators, or mentors to help their fellow students.

Special thanks to the Jennifer Claire Moore Foundation, whose support makes many of these opportunities possible. The foundation, a local United Way agency, plays a vital role in sustaining the Peer Helper programs throughout Baldwin County.
