The goal of ISU Peer Education is to assist students in striving for and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a positive sense of well-being. Peer Educators serve as role models for positive lifestyle choices. Approximately 35 students are selected each year to be Peer Educators.
Recruitment occurs in the fall, and students begin training in the spring.
Applications should be turned in by the first week of November. Interviews and selections are completed by the end of November. Volunteer hours vary depending on the needs of the program, but usually requires a commitment of two to three hours a week. Hours are available during the morning, afternoon, and evening. Volunteers must attend a two-day training retreat in the fall, and a one day training retreat in the spring.
