If you are interested in joining the Healthy Devils peer education program, please review the expectations and responsibilities of a peer educator, before proceeding to the online Healthy Devil application:
1) Attend initial peer education training sessions.
The Fall 2009 peer education training conference is scheduled for Saturday, September 12 and Sunday, September 13.
Attendance at both days of training sessions is mandatory for new peer educators.
2) Complete all required online training modules by Friday, October 2.
Instructions for completing the training modules will be shared after students complete an application to join the Healthy Devils. There are four training modules, which review the different health issues that the Healthy Devils address - sexual health, nutrition and body image issues, mental health issues, and substance use.
3) Attend all scheduled Healthy Devils general body meetings and peer education group meetings.
During the 2009-10 academic year, Healthy Devils general body meetings will be held on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM.
Only two absences per semester will be accepted. Notice of any absence should be submitted to the Healthy Devils president or the appropriate advisor at least 24 hours in advance.
3) Complete at least 35 volunteer hours per semester.
Semester volunteer hours include meetings, trainings, programs presented/observed, in-services, office hours, attendance at special events/speakers, research, attending applicable meetings, planning programs, conferences and other educational programs. The majority of your volunteer hours will come from participating in your primary group's activities, but students can log hours for participating in any Healthy Devil activity.
4) Document volunteer hours online on a weekly basis, using online hours log.
5) Represent Duke Student Health, CAPS, and the Alcohol and Substance Abuse Prevention Center in a positive and accurate manner.
