Teen PEP: Peer-Led Sexual Health Education

About the program

Teen PEP is implemented in high schools as a course for-credit that meets daily (or the equivalent) and in organizations as an afterschool program. Carefully selected junior and/or senior students are enrolled in the Teen PEP course and provided with educational training that addresses a range of topics related to sexual health. The peer educators, in turn, conduct a series of structured workshops with groups of younger peers, faculty, and parents/caregivers.

The Teen Prevention Education Program (Teen PEP) utilizes peer-to-peer education to increase students’ knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors associated with healthy decision-making.
