Peer Mentoring Program

Safe Yakima Valley partners with Eisenhower High School, Whitney Elementary, and Wilson Middle School, to provide elementary and middle school students with a peer mentor from Eisenhower.

All students benefit.

Through our peer mentoring program, both the mentor and mentees benefit from the experience. Peer mentors are found to increase self-awareness and foster personal growth
while also improving communication and interpersonal skills.

Mentees are guided by the high schoolers on time management, getting organized, getting involved in high school, communicating with peers and teachers, and navigating high school.

Students meet every other Friday

Eisenhower High School students walk down to either Whitney Elementary or Wilson Middle School to meet with their mentee during lunch. The match continues through the entire school year.
