peer leadership program
the peer leadership program serves adolescents from the city of boston. youth are identified through staff, teachers, and counselor recommendations. recruitment of high school youth, ages 13 – 17 is facilitated through the mayor’s youth line and is done on the basis of an application and interview. the youth selected are taught to exemplify wellness and serve as role models of the dimensions of wellness.
