Peer
Leadership
The Medical
Foundation is a nationally recognized leader in youth development
and peer leadership training. Peer leaders are young people who
make a commitment to promoting healthy behavior in their communities,
particularly
among other young people.
TMF's
innovative peer leadership training programs engage young people
in the learning process and encourage self-discovery within the
context of their own personal experience and communities. After
completing peer leadership training, young people educate their
peers about health and prevention issues through a wide range of
creative and effective strategies.
