Peer Leaders
Do you have what it takes to be a Peer Leader? If you have natural leadership skills, want to have a positive impact on the community, like to have fun and make good decisions; then the answer is yes!
The WYC Peer Leaders are a group of WHS students who are committed to their community and serving as role models for all. The Peer Leaders are truly the heart of the WYC. They organize and implement all of the WYC service projects and special events, they lead activities and supervise younger students at the after school drop-in center, they plan and facilitate activities at all of our middle school youth groups, and they represent the WYC where ever they go.
As members of this group the Peer Leaders have countless opportunites to further develop their leadership skills, serve as role models for their peers, have a positive impact on their community and beyond, create and develop projects, work as a team, learn about themselves, feel supported, be creative, be successful, and make good decisions!
This group is open to any WHS student who has natural leadership skills and a desire to develop them further in a healthy and positive way. Please stop by the WYC for more info.

The 84
The WYC Peer Leaders have created our own chapter of the 84: a youth-led movement fighting for a tobacco-free generation in Massachusetts. The 84 represents the 84% of Massachusetts teens who choose not to smoke. As a chapter of the 84 we look forward to working with peer leaders in nearly 100 other chapters across the state who are fighting Big Tobacco in our schools and communities through interactive projects and awareness campaigns. Please check out our website or www.the84.org to learn more.
