II)P.E.E.R.S (Positive Engagement Encouraging Resiliency in Shaker Students) In this summer program a group of 10-12 Shaker students, comprised primarily of high school juniors and seniors, were paired with 8th graders and used a think tank approach to apply the Social Norms model to examine and discuss social justice issues as they affect teens. These carefully selected youth leaders were charged with identifying several major impending social issues and they impact youth. They explored the response of youth and the resiliency factors required to approach these social complexities. Using the Life Skills curriculum, they used role modeling, surveying, debates, social media, and other tools to broadly explore the impact of social justice, a health pandemic and other critical issues on the lives of our youth population.
