by, with, and for young people

Peer Health Exchange was founded by young people, for young people. Our work began with teaching health workshops in public schools in order to fill the gap left by underfunded, understaffed district health programs. Since 2003, we have trained more than 15,000 college students to deliver health education to over 188,000 high school-aged young people.
