ADL’s Peer Education Programs Create Powerful Change in Middle and High Schools Regionally

  • October 11, 2017

In ADL’s peer education programs, young people assume leadership roles in an effort to create respectful and inclusive schools and communities. This fall, we will be running peer training programs in 10 schools in our region.

  • Central Bucks High School West
  • Conestoga High School
  • Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School
  • Jenkintown High School
  • Lenape Middle School
  • Little Flower High School
  • Pine Grove High School
  • Plymouth Whitemarsh High School
  • Seneca High School
  • Springton Lake Middle School

In these 10 schools, ADL will work with over 250 middle and high school students, who will go on to impact over 30,000 of their peers.

One student who participated in the peer education program at Cristo Rey wrote in his closing evaluation that “I feel as though I learned a lot about acceptance. There are so many ways we can be different and so many ways we can offend or be offended. But in the end I feel it all comes down to accepting those around you as equals.”
