Peer Leadership
Welcome, Peer Leaders!!!!!
Mission Statement/Information
The Peer Leadership Program trains students how to be natural helpers when interacting with their peers. They are trained to listen to their peers and be a source of support to direct students toward individuals in the school environment who can provide assistance. Moreover, the peer leaders volunteer with community service-based and prevention projects in both the school and the community of Wall Township. The ultimate goal is to directly help families in need in their community and foster compassion towards others.
Club Goals/Objectives:
- To help people in need in the community
- To create an environment where students want to be natural helpers
- To develop compassion for others
Please join our Google Classroom! We post lots of volunteer opportunities and meeting reminders.
