In honor of National Mentoring Month, the Center for Supportive Schools will continue our Lunch & Learn Webinar Series in January by examining the strategy of school-based peer mentoring. In this webinar, you will explore best practices in school-based peer mentoring and learn specific strategies used in a national peer group mentoring model for middle and high schools known as Peer Group Connection (PGC). You will also hear directly from educators and students who have been impacted by PGC and learn how to bring PGC to your own school.
