Peer Leadership:
Students Building Healthy School Communities
 Peer leadership involves students taking an active role in creating and supporting healthy, safe and welcoming school communities. The Comprehensive School Health (CSH) approach - used by many schools and school jurisdictions around Alberta - recognizes that many different stakeholders need to be involved to create healthier school communities. Getting students involved in the process is a key element of this approach. Student engagement in school health initiatives creates ownership, develops leadership skills and builds school connectedness. Peer leadership looks different at every school; however, all of these initiatives share a common element that is essential for a successful peer leadership initiative - they are fun!
