Peer Education - Division of CSUN's University Counseling Services
Peer educators are well-trained and motivated individuals, just like you, who lead organized educational activities by delivering presentations and participating in campus events. Peer educators are leaders and role models who work collaboratively to make a difference on campus and within the greater community by raising awareness on current issues that affect our society. By becoming a peer educator, you will be able to explore and learn about a particular issue that best suits your personal or career interests. For more information on each program, please visit The BLUES Project, Project D.A.T.E., JADE or MenCARE.
