Becoming a Peer Educator
Peer educators are 14-25-year-olds
who help Brownies, Guides and Rangers explore important topics.
What is a Peer educator?
Any member of Girlguiding aged 14-25 can complete the training and become a peer educator.
As the role is so flexible, it can be a great way to stay connected to Girlguiding whilst you’re at university or when you can’t commit to more regular volunteering.
Who can become a Peer educator?
As young people, peer educators use their own experience to bring important subjects to life.
It works because girls like you are eager to listen to their peers who share similar life experiences.
Peer educators run fun, safe and challenging sessions which we develop with expert partners. They can deliver sessions on:
Think Resilient - gives girls the tools to build their mental well-being. Developed with YoungMinds
Breaking Free - gives girls the tools to challenge gender stereotypes. Developed with expert academics, CEOs and charities.
Safe The World - helps members make a stand for safety. Developed with charity experts and police officers.
How do I become a Peer educator?
To become a peer educator, you’ll need to attend training to help you get the skills you need. It covers:
Running activities and games, facilitating discussions.
Active listening, presenting, and asking useful questions.
How to manage challenging behaviour.
