SHAPE is strategically designed to train high school students to present to their younger peers on peer pressure, healthy relationships, communication skills, and negotiation techniques.

We request applications from students who want to participate in SHAPE. Selecting just 30, our criteria is based upon attendance, grades, and a counselor recommendation. Over summer break, they attend workshops led by health and education professionals to learn how to present an evidence-based health curriculum to middle school students. Ongoing training and support is provided throughout the school year, along with leadership development and volunteer service-learning activities.
