The PEERs
The PEERs are paid undergraduate (and co-term) peer educators that Prevent harms, Educate about holistic health and well-being, Empower our community, and Refer students to campus resources. They are trained in the fundamentals of public health as it relates to the following topic areas: substance use, sexual citizenship, and health promotion.


Please reach out to us at peerprogram@stanford.edu with questions.

What Does Being a PEER Entail?
PEERs receive ongoing intensive training from both SUPER and the SHARE Education teams as well as other campus partners across departments who specialize in topics related to health and wellbeing.
PEERs conduct outreach education programs and workshops across undergraduate campus neighborhoods on topics involving alcohol/drug use, sexual citizenship, and health promotion. They specialize in population level public health initiatives rather than one on one support.
PEERs are active members of the wellness community and table on campus to promote awareness on public health issues. PEERs work about 5 paid hours a week.

PEERs and 5-Sure on Foot collaborate for Fentanyl Awareness Day.

How Do I Become a PEER?
The only pre-requisite to apply to be a PEER is a passion for the health and wellbeing of your peers and a desire to learn about public health. If selected, you would engage in 32 hours of training in fundamentals and ongoing in-service trainings throughout the academic year. The role commitment is for one academic year with the possibility of continuing on in subsequent academic years.

How do I request a PEER led workshop/training?
Any student organization, house/dorm, is able to request a PEER led workshop. Fill out the workshop request form here. Please note that submitting this form generates a request and we will then confirm a time once we have confirmed facilitators. It is important that you put the correct contact information in your request form as we will communicate with you based on that information.
