Summary:
|
The Perris Union High School District would like to enter into an Agreement with the Love 4 Life Association to provide Perris High School (PHS) with the Love 4 Life Ambassadors Student Led Training Program. The goal of the Love 4 Life Ambassador program is to create youth leaders that will advocate on the topics of bullying prevention, suicide prevention, mental health, and confidence building. Through interactive training and activities, they will serve as peer-to-peer support to their school community. The intention is to create a nurturing, safe, judgment-free environment where all students feel comfortable being themselves. Moreover, this program will help identify students that are at risk and remove the stigma behind asking for help. We hope to contribute to a positive school culture and resource connection through empathy and unity.
A total of fifteen ambassadors will be selected to participate in 26 workshops throughout the entire school year. These fifteen ambassadors will participate in a one-hour weekly training of research-based workshops. The Love 4 Life mentorship program will provide professional training to students who educate their peers on bullying prevention, suicide prevention, mental health support, confidence building, and leadership principles. These trained individuals/students provide an invaluable resource for their peers who either need support in these areas or are looking for a way to contribute to a positive movement. The 15 PHS student ambassadors will participate in four school-wide campaigns to maximize the reach of the Love 4 Life mission. The Love 4 Life in-school campaigns focus on reaching out to students to spread positivity and support; meanwhile, social media campaigns provide an accessible option to participate and receive help outside the school setting. Student ambassadors will be able to learn how to create, plan, and execute campaigns innovatively.
The term of this Agreement shall be from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024.
