Youth Health Advocates
The Youth Health Advocates are a group of teens who organize fun, safe events for their peers and lead prevention efforts in their school and communities. Using their knowledge of prevention, they educate others on how to live healthy lives and be the best versions of themselves through social events. These gatherings create a welcoming space where teens can connect, relax, and enjoy themselves. By joining the group, you can make new friends, earn community service hours, and have fun while making a positive difference.

Orgullo Latino
Orgullo Latino is a bilingual group that serves Latinx youth where they can connect, celebrate their heritage, and grow as leaders. Members engage in activities that honor cultural traditions, encourage self-expression, address issues in their communities, and work together to bridge gaps as advocates. In their gatherings, they speak on social issues, college pathways, and self-identity. This program provides a safe and supportive space where teens can share experiences, build meaningful connections, develop leadership skills, and strengthen their sense of cultural pride.
If you’re interested in joining Orgullo Latino, please contact Evelyn Aguilar-Clavel at evelyn@lifrc.org
Peer-to-Peer
The Peer-to-Peer Program trains high school students in mental health, healthy decision-making, and effective communication. After completing their training, these students become certified Peer-to-Peer Educators, ready to lead fun and interactive lessons for middle school students. They use engaging presentations and real-life examples. They create a safe and open space for younger students, so they can learn and ask questions.
Because the lessons come from older peers, middle school students often find the content more relatable, authentic, and impactful. They see their high school mentors as role models who “get it,” making the experience both educational and inspiring. In addition to helping younger students, Peer-to-Peer Educators gain valuable leadership skills, confidence, and a deeper understanding of the topics they teach. This will prepare them to make a difference in their schools and communities.
If you’re interested in becoming a certified peer-to-peer educator or for more information, please contact Satya Ray at satya@lifrc.org
