PLUS is a proactive peer leader program which empowers youth to lead, educate, influence and support their fellow peers. The PLUS Program is one of the few approaches in education which utilizes the natural channels of peer influence to address critical issues that impact the positive youth development of our children. The PLUS vision is invested in the power of the peer group model and the sense of belonging that develops when individuals feel an identity to a group.

This inclusion serves as the catalyst for young people to engage in positive actions which develop their self worth and identity to a credible social group. PLUS supplies an ongoing plan that enables schools with the ability to address issues that affect the learning environment of students. Implementation of PLUS activities creates a positive campus culture which establishes a safe school environment for all students to achieve individual success.
