Peer Leaders are teens, at least 14 years old, who are committed to contributing to their community in the most effective way possible. Peers will be trained in reproductive health content such as sexually transmitted infections, birth control options, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and most importantly where they can access these services. The Peer Leaders, equipped with all this knowledge, will help with presentations in the community, referring fellow peers to services, and being an upstanding member of the Teen Outreach Program.
