What is P6?
P6 is a peer education program. Each week peer educators will be trained to talk to their peers and parents about issues such as pregnancy and STI/HIV prevention, healthy relationships, dating violence and community resources. Peer educators will be expected to discuss the topics they learn with their peers in their community over the course of the program. Peer educators will be compensated for their outreach and have the opportunity to earn up to $200.
