The Peer Helping Program trains youth ages 14 to 25 in peer helping, assertiveness training, self-esteem building, leadership development, combating racism, alcohol/drug abuse, healthy sexuality and STD prevention.

The peer helpers develop the skills to facilitate presentations to their peers in schools, youth groups and to youth service providers. Training in the Peer Helping Program has also expanded to encompass gang and crime prevention, child exploitation prevention, peer mediation, and cross-cultural training. They have in past mounted theatre productions, where they learned and practiced drama techniques and performed plays on relevant youth issues.
