What is a peer educator?

Peer Educators are individuals, often students or members of a community, who are trained to provide education, support, and resources to their peers on specific topics such as health, wellness, academics, or social issues. They use their shared experiences and relatable perspectives to effectively communicate information and encourage positive behaviors within their peer group. Peer Educators can be found in schools, colleges, and community organizations, and they play a crucial role in promoting awareness and fostering supportive environments.
