Peer Leaders
Our Reach
Peer Resources partners with SFUSD middle and high schools to implement our youth leadership and peer helping program. Peer Resources Coordinators are certificated teachers with special training who are hired by their schools.
How it works
The Teacher Coordinators teach Peer Resources as an elective class to our student Peer Leaders. They coordinate services provided by Peer Leaders. Students are selected into the class through a mix of referral, application, and class scheduling. Peer Leaders represent the broad spectrum of San Francisco public school students.
“Last week there was a fight on campus that I got between and broke up. A couple of months ago, I wouldn’t have done that. Peer resources has helped me grow and become a better person and a role model.”
