PALS stands for Peer Assistance, Leadership, and Service. The PALS course is a peer assistance program offering selected high school students the opportunity to work as trained peer mentors to students at the elementary, middle, and high school level. The course is intended to provide a field experience for young people who are potentially interested in careers in education and/or related helping professions, as well as those who are interested in cultural diversity and community leadership. Participants will be trained in a variety of helping skills that will enable them to assist other students in having a more positive and productive school experience. Positive peer influence will be utilized as a central strategy for addressing issues currently facing young people.
