Employment Verification for Peer Health Exchange.

Peer Health Exchange (PHE) is a national non-profit organization founded in 2003 that trains college student volunteers to teach health education in under-resourced high schools. The organization aims to address health inequities among young people by providing them with knowledge, skills, and resources to make healthy decisions. The organization operates in several major U.S. cities, including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and the San Francisco Bay Area. PHE's curriculum covers critical health topics such as mental health, sexual health, substance use, and healthy relationships. The program utilizes a near-peer model, where college students serve as health educators to high school students, creating relatable and engaging learning experiences. Peer Health Exchange partners with colleges and universities to recruit and train volunteer health educators, who then deliver standardized health workshops in participating high schools. The organization's approach is evidence-based and regularly evaluated for effectiveness. Since its inception, PHE has reached over 150,000 high school students and trained more than 10,000 college student volunteers. The organization is supported through various funding sources, including foundations, corporations, and individual donors. PHE has received recognition for its work from various organizations and has been featured in publications discussing innovative approaches to health education and youth empowerment.
