Our approach to empowering young people draws on
a successful model in which high school and college students train other youth,
organizations, and adults about workplace health and safety. The Peer Educators
lead workshops and plan events to promote awareness and prevention of injuries
and illnesses at work as well as being a source for important information and
resources. This Peer Education approach builds leadership, effective public
speaking, project planning skills, and a sense of responsibility toward actively
improving health and safety of all workers.
