Peer Educators

​

Peer Education is girl-led and an integral part of The Ranger programme, tying into the Look Wider programme.

​

The aim is to enable the development of skills, knowledge and understanding of girls and young women by creating opportunities for them to learn from each other.

​

Many girls and young women today struggle with self-esteem. We’re tackling this head on through our peer education programme and Free Being Me.

​

Through this ground-breaking scheme, we equip members of The Senior Section with the skills they need to safely and effectively deliver fun, interactive sessions to guiding peers aged seven plus.

​

​

Arrange a Free Being Me session

Free Being Me is a fantastic way to help the girls and young women in your unit feel good about themselves. To arrange a visit from a Peer Educator contact the county Peer Educator Adviser:
