Peer Helpers are leaders who show great character, kindness and an openness and appreciation for others. They staff the Student Lounge, a safe place students go to talk, relax, obtain resources or eat their lunch. The program offers support for students by providing peer counseling and school wide campaigns.

Commitment

Selected students must participate in an extensive summer training, attend weekly meetings and spend one lunch period per week staffing the Student Lounge throughout the school year.

Requirements

Peer Helpers are sophomores through seniors who are selected after an application/interview process and obtaining faculty recommendations. Meetings and following the SHS co-curricular code of conduct are mandatory.

Join

Learn more by speaking with Peer Helpers during lunch periods in the Student Lounge. Apply in the spring for the following school year. Contact a sponsor for more information and to learn about meeting times/location, or visit Student Activities with questions.
