About PEER Mentors
The heart of The PEERS Project’s intervention is its teenage mentors, and PEERS’ primary goal is to invest in young leaders through adult mentoring, character-based education, peer support, and a coordinated, progressive series of activities and experiences. One hundred peer mentors in 1994 snowballed into more than 23,000 throughout Indiana by 2010, demonstrating the effectiveness of this peer-facilitated approach among adolescents.
