Peer Group Connection

Faculty advisors at each participating high school are trained to run the program and teach a daily leadership course to peer leaders. Eleventh and twelfth-grade peer leaders who participate in the daily leadership development class facilitate outreach sessions with their assigned group of ninth graders. PGC can be offered in either a half-year (semester) or full-year format. In either format, a minimum of 18, 45-minute outreach sessions are expected to be offered to PGC participants during the course of their ninth-grade year. Outreaches are created to facilitate the transition to high school and encourage students to attend school, set goals for themselves, and make healthy decisions.
