Description
Peer Health Exchange (PHE) gives teenagers the knowledge and skills they need to make healthy decisions. We do this by training college students to teach a comprehensive health curriculum in public high schools that lack health education.

PHE currently trains 1,900 volunteers to teach PHE's comprehensive health curriculum to over 19,000 ninth graders nationwide.
