“PLUS is what I've been looking for all these years! As a school counselor, I was always looking for something that would empower and appeal to ALL students to demonstrate their leadership and at the same time truly make a difference on our campus and in our community. The PLUS Program creates and spreads a consistent message of the importance of connections and relationships. It is a program genuinely based on the students and their voices. When we create a safe environment and give our students permission to truly speak their minds, be heard and listen to each other, then the magic happens.”
Cherryl Baker - School Counselor, PLUS Advisor, Mission Hills High School

“Peer Programs are dramatically more effective than all other programs – even at the lowest level of intensity. Peer – led classroom-based programs for middle and junior high school students are statistically superior to the same programs being taught by teachers.”
