Peer Health Educators

Yale’s Peer Health Educators are a group of undergraduate students trained to provide information on substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, risk reduction, and safer sex practices, covering such topics as abstinence, contraception, sexually transmitted diseases, and sexual assault. Their greatest accomplishment is the annual Connections Workshop held during orientation for all incoming freshmen, however programs and presentations are available for special student groups, cultural centers, fraternities, sororities, and any other interested parties within the Yale and New Haven communities.

If you are interested in becoming a Peer Health Educator, please complete our online application.
