Peer2Peer
Program Information
Peer2Peer is a program open to 8th grade students who demonstrate the ability to be positive
role models to their peers. There are approximately ten (10) spots in the program, and every effort
will be made to accommodate a variety of students to create a well-rounded and diverse group.
All Peer Leaders will receive training to help prepare them for their role as leaders. A Peer
Leadership Workshop has been arranged for the 2013-2014 Peer Leaders. This will take place on
Wednesday, October 9th, 2013 and will cover the following topics: leadership styles, goal-setting,
trust, communication, and problem-solving. At several points in the program, group discussions will
be conducted to reinforce learning.
Some Peer Leader responsibilities include: active participation in weekly meetings, various
outreach activities, and school-wide initiatives. Whenever possible, meetings will be held during
lunch and/or activity period so that no instructional time is missed. Prior to outreaches and schoolwide activities, however, Peer Leaders may be asked to attend meetings before, after school, or
during class time. Should this situation arise, Peer Leaders understand that it is their responsibility to
make up any missed work.
I am thrilled to be the Peer2Peer coordinator again this year, and I look forward to working
with our 2013-2014 leaders. This is an important role with the potential to positively influence
classmates and the community. All leadership roles and responsibilities should be taken seriously so
that the program is as successful this year as it has been in the past.
Thank you for your interest in Peer2Peer and good luck!
