The HYPE Peer Ambassador Coach Program is designed for college-age students who want to develop their leadership skills while making a positive impact on young people and communities. Peer Ambassador Coaches work alongside The Bridge Center staff to help develop engaging health education and outreach activities, support HYPE initiatives, and serve as mentors to high school students participating in the HYPE Leadership Council.

 

Through mentorship, program development, community outreach, and health education, Peer Ambassador Coaches gain valuable leadership and professional experience while helping HYPE connect with young people in meaningful and relevant ways.

• Participate in monthly virtual HYPE Leadership Council meetings and help guide activities and discussions.

• Mentor and support high school students serving on the HYPE Leadership Council.

• Work with The Bridge Center staff to develop engaging presentations, activities, and educational materials for youth.
