Youth Leadership

All youth have opportunities to plan and facilitate opportunities of their own ideas and to become peer leaders. Peer Leaders are a vital part of Safe Homes.  

The role of a Peer Leader includes: 

• Shape programming

• Ambassadors for the community

• Conduct Safe Homes activities.

• Meet weekly to discuss activities and to identify key themes/problems they feel the Drop-In Center should address. 

• Develop and plan the Safe Homes quarterly schedule

• Provide peer support to other youth at the drop in center

• Receive extensive trainings and certifications

• Conduct trainings and presentations for community youth workers and educators
