Youth Cannabis and Tobacco Prevention
What is Peer 2 Peer?
Peer 2 Peer is a youth cannabis prevention program that trains middle and high school students to become peer educators.
After taking part in free (and fun!) training, peer educators are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and tools to teach younger peers about health, coping with stress, the effects of cannabis, social norms, and more.
Training? When & Where?
Peer 2 Peer training is available within and outside the school setting, bringing the program to any group supporting youth!
We currently offer three region-wide trainings: two for high school-aged youth and one for middle school-aged youth, which occur in the late fall and early winter in central locations in our 5-county region (Island, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, and Whatcom).
Whether you want to pair up with another school to attend a training or have us train your scouting troop, we can make it work.
