GET HYPED!
There are two ways to participate in Teen HYPE’s programs:
- Ask your teacher or principal to visit the website to learn more about our in-school programming
- Apply to become a Peer Educator
PEER EDUCATION (PE)
When you join PE, you are joining a family of caring adults and teenagers just like you.
Being a Peer Educator is about working together to make Detroit and the world better. Teen HYPE is a safe space where all young people are welcomed and respected. As a PE, you will have an opportunity to express yourself through your creativity, become a certified adolescent health peer educator, meet other teens, learn about interesting topics, go on field trips, and participate in community service projects all while having fun. It does not matter if you are shy or outgoing, there is a place for you at Teen HYPE.

- 1-year commitment
- Year-round attendance at weekly meetings (Thursdays after school until 8:30 pm)
