our approach

Peer education empowers students.

Peer education is a method for individuals of similar ages or backgrounds to teach one another.

This approach is the cornerstone of our activities and programs. It uses the influence that peers have on one another to promote learning and encourage positive behavior changes.

Young voices matter.

We know young people have valuable ideas and thoughts to contribute, even if they themselves don’t always realize it. While they recognize negative peer pressure, they might not see their ability to inspire one another positively.

The Diary of Anne Frank is perhaps the most well-known work that elevates a young person’s voice. It challenges all people to consider their own humanity, and asks us all to believe the best in one another.

Inspired to be better citizens.

We believe our programs empower individuals, particularly young people, to realize their potential to influence one another for the better, and to become better citizens as a result.
