At Peer Solutions, our live programming sessions provide a dedicated space for students to connect, share experiences, and develop important life skills in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

During our lunch programs, students gather to engage in meaningful discussions about topics such as mental health, violence prevention, community service, and more. We incorporate fun and interactive activities to keep students engaged, helping them to build strong relationships while learning valuable skills that empower them to navigate daily challenges.
Our after-school programs offer an exploration of various themes tailored for elementary and middle school youth, including kindness, lending a hand, environmental responsibility, and more. Through creative activities and group discussions led by trained high school Peer Leaders, students can apply what they learn in real-life situations to create change in their school and community.

PEER LED TIPP ACTIVITIES INCLUDE

In addition to our regular programming, we organize monthly outreach events at the schools we serve, designed to expand our reach and impact within the community. These events aim to connect with youth and their families, fostering awareness about the themes we are discussing at Peer Solutions.
