We are four youth advisors from the Greater Boston Area, participating in the Youth Advisory Program at Boston Children's Hospital. We are three high school students and a college student who have been trained to educate our peers about health issues.
We take field trips to different community organizations in the Boston area, and provide peer-to-peer education on many health topics.
We also surf the web to find reliable health information for you, and evaluate educational pamphlets. We write articles for our quarterly e-newsletter called Teen Talk. We also do outreach in our adolescent outpatient clinic and area high schools, and help to staff our Resource Center that is open to the public, Monday-Friday, 1-5pm.
The "Peers are Here" map below shows where in the community we've presented lately, and the topics we've given presentations on.
