Program Service Accomplishments

Program 1

Expenses: $442,519 Revenue: $140,000

THE TEEN PREVENTION EDUCATION PROGRAM (TEEN PEP) UTILIZES PEER-TO-PEER EDUCATION TO INCREASE STUDENTS' KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES, SKILLS, AND BEHAVIORS ASSOCIATED WITH SEXUAL HEALTH. HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS AND SENIORS, KNOWN AS PEER EDUCATORS, ARE ENROLLED IN A DAILY, FOR-CREDIT, YEARLONG LEADERSHIP COURSE TAUGHT BY SCHOOL FACULTY DURING REGULAR SCHOOL HOURS. PEER EDUCATORS CONDUCT A SERIES OF STRUCTURED WORKSHOPS FOR GROUPS OF YOUNGER PEERS, FACULTY, AND FAMILY MEMBERS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS AND DECISION-MAKING WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY REDUCING RISKY SEXUAL BEHAVIOR.

Program 2

PEER GROUP CONNECTION (PGC) TAPS INTO THE POWER OF OLDER STUDENTS TO CREATE A NURTURING ENVIRONMENT FOR YOUNGER STUDENTS WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY ADVANCING THE PEER LEADERS' OWN LEARNING, GROWTH, AND DEVELOPMENT. OLDER STUDENTS, KNOWN AS PEER LEADERS, ARE TRAINED TO BE LEADERS AND POSITIVE ROLE MODELS BY SCHOOL FACULTY DURING REGULAR SCHOOL HOURS. EACH WEEK, PAIRS OF PEER LEADERS MEET WITH SMALL GROUPS OF YOUNGER STUDENTS IN OUTREACH SESSIONS DESIGNED TO STRENGTHEN RELATIONSHIPS AND BUILD SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SKILLS. RESEARCH INDICATES THAT PGC IMPROVES THE GRADUATION RATES OF STUDENT PARTICIPANTS BY NINE PERCENTAGE POINTS, INCREASES DAILY ATTENDANCE BY AS MANY AS SIX DAYS, AND CUTS BY HALF THE NUMBER OF MALE STUDENTS WHO WOULD OTHERWISE DROP OUT.
