I will be representing Project for Teens as a Champion Runner in the Mankato Marathon on October 20-21, 2018.
Project for Teens is a peer education program involving Mankato area high school students dedicated to preventing teen pregnancy and promoting the well-being of their younger peers.
Project for Teens peer leaders serve as dynamic and positive role models to:
* Promote healthy and responsible decision-making
* Provide accurate information about risks associated with sexual and other behaviors (alcohol and drug use, cyber-activity and bullying)
* Address the reality of peer pressure at the middle school levels
* Teach effective communication skills
“This program allows me to work with some amazing students and help them grow as leaders. They take control and show leadership skills.” - Shea
