“Peer Health Exchange’s mission is to give teenagers the knowledge and skills 
they need to make healthy decisions. We do this by training college students 
to teach a comprehensive health curriculum in public high schools that lack 
health education. Peer Health Exchange (PHE) college volunteers train in 1 of 
10 health topics, teaching skills, and public speaking skills during the fall 
semester. Volunteers begin teaching workshops to high school students 
partway through the fall semester, and continue to teach throughout the 
spring semester. Most PHE volunteers spend an average of 3 – 4 hours per 
week volunteering; PHE student leaders spend between 6 – 10 hours each 
week learning and teaching a health topic workshop themselves and helping to 
train and manage their peers. This is a great opportunity for students who are 
interested in working in the community, teaching and the health fields.

Peer Health Exchange currently works with groups of student volunteers at 
Columbia University, NYU, CUNY-Lehman College, and Fordham University. In 
2008-2009, we will be expanding to work with more college students and 
serve more NYC teenagers. If you are interested in learning more about this 
program, becoming a volunteer for the 2008 – 2009 academic year, or applying 
to be part of a select group of student leaders who will begin laying the 
foundation for this program at Hunter this spring, please contact
