Teen Voice: High School Peer Education Program

SafeHouse Center’s Teen Voice program is a group of Washtenaw County high school students, ages 13 to 18, dedicated to ending dating violence and sexual assault. Teen Voice youth educator volunteers plan and participate in community awareness events for Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Teen Voice meets bi-weekly to discuss campaigns and upcoming events. Teen Voice volunteers are committed to raising awareness and creating social change on the issues of teen dating violence and sexual assault.

How can you become a Teen Voice member?

To join the program, volunteers are required to submit an application, pass a background check, complete an interview and attend mandatory training. 

What is it like to volunteer for Teen Voice?

Being a part of the Teen Voice youth educator program allows students to learn, grow, and develop tools and skills to educate their peers and other community members on teen dating violence, sexual assault, and domestic violence. Members are given the opportunity to discuss important topics like consent, power and control, and building healthy relationships.  Upon joining Teen Voice, members are required to attend specialized training, attend biweekly meetings, and participate in community awareness events.
