What is a Peer Educator?
Peer Educators are guiding members aged 14 to 25 (Senior Section)
who have attended a Basic Training weekend and run sessions for
their peers. Their peers may include Brownies, Guides or Senior Section,
as well as anyone outside guiding aged 7+.
Peer Educators can deliver sessions on a range of topical issues such as
bullying and self-esteem, and skills including communication and decision making.
Peer Educators are currently trained to deliver sessions on:
- binge drinking
- bullying
- eating disorders
- disability awareness
- the media
- refugees
- self- esteem
- sexual health
- stress management
- world poverty and development
They can also research and run sessions on other topics.
