Peer Educator

OPEN Project
VO70661

OPEN trains young people aged 16-25 to become peer educators, to deliver workshops and training to other young people across Shetland. The harm reduction issue-based training focuses on various topics:
• Online Safety
• Drugs
• Alcohol
• Sexual Health
• Positive Relationships
• Grooming
• Mental health
• Change
We believe in open minded information – not telling people what to do. We will give you the training and support you need so that you can volunteer as a part of the OPEN team to design and deliver workshops and activates to other young people. If you’re interested in being part of the OPEN project please get in touch!

Experience required

Volunteers just need an enthusiastic approach to learning with an outlook to present workshops to others.
