Peer educators are 14-25-year-olds who help Brownies, Guides and Rangers explore important topics which they might not normally cover in unit meetings. As young people, they use their own experience to bring the subject to life. Find out more about Peer Education here.

Please contact Siobhan Guyll, our County Peer Education Co-ordinator to find out more peeredcoordinator@girlguidingworcs.org.uk

Topics:

  • Think Resilient – gives girls the tools to build their mental well-being. Developed with YoungMinds.

  • Breaking Free – helps girls to identify and challenge stereotypes so they feel empowered to enjoy their hobbies, gain skills they’re interested in and bust the restrictions that so-called ‘stereotypes’ could place on their lives.

  • Safe The World – helps improve member’s awareness of safety, unsafe behaviours and how we can campaign towards a safer world for all.

Are you interested in becoming a Peer educator?

Any Girlguiding member aged between 14-25 can become a peer educator by attending a training session.

The Introduction to Peer Education e-learning explains the role of a peer educator and is the first step in becoming a peer educator.

Keep an eye on the Girlguiding Midlands website for the latest training weekends or email the county peer education coordinator for more information if you are interested.

Are you interested in a Peer education session for your unit?

Request a session for your unit by filling out the session request survey on the Girlguiding website or getting in touch with your county peer education coordinator. You will then be put in contact with a peer educator to arrange a session who will discuss equipment/resources and any adaptations to activities required to suit your unit.

Don’t forget peer education sessions count towards UMA minutes!
