Peer Advocates

The Peer Advocate program, a longstanding collaboration between Teton County School District and Community Safety Network, has been active for over a decade. Meetings occur about every other week at Jackson Hole High School. The club comprises 9th-12th grade students who are committed to enhancing community safety.

Our primary focus lies in raising awareness about healthy, unhealthy, and abusive relationships, as well as consent. We conduct awareness campaigns and educational events within the school community. Additionally, we strive to reassure survivors within the school that there are individuals dedicated to creating a better world and that they are not alone. We firmly believe in and support survivors.

Each year, Community Safety Network selects one student who has gone through the Peer Advocate training to receive the Peer Advocate Scholarship, a financial award towards college tuition in partnership with the Fund for Public Education. This year, the winning student will receive $2,000 and be honored for going above and beyond in their support and advocacy among peers of CSN’s mission.
