A brief description of the student educators program (1st program):
The REACH (Real Education About College Health) peer education program heightens students’ awareness and understanding of health issues that directly affect their lives such as alcohol and other drugs, tobacco use, social life, HIV/AIDs, sexuality, self-esteem, peer pressure, relationships and healthy decision making. This peer to peer program meets the AASHE definition of sustainability ("AASHE defines sustainability in an inclusive way, encompassing human and ecological health, social justice, secure livelihoods, and a better world for all generations.")
A brief description of the student educators program’s target audience (1st program):
REACH interns are selected through an application and interview process. Once selected, the interns are trained to be peer educators which involve learning about various college health issues. REACH interns make a one-year commitment to the program and serve approximately 5–6 hours per week.
Examples:
• Peer educators, working in pairs, engage students in their everyday environments across campus — dining halls, University Union, bus stops, recreational halls, study lounges and more.
• Rather than lecturing at students about what they should or shouldn't do, REACH educators have short, focused conversations with fellow students about a particular health topic.

A brief description of the student educators program (2nd program):
NYPIRG is New York State's largest student-directed consumer, environmental and government reform organization. We are a nonpartisan, not-for-profit group established to effect policy reforms while training students and other New Yorkers to be advocates. Since 1973, NYPIRG has played the key role in fighting for more than 120 public interest laws and executive orders. NYPIRG's 20 college campus chapters provide much of NYPIRG's energy, resources, and activism. Each campus chapter consists of full-time staff organizers and a large core of student volunteers. Students at NYPIRG chapters work on projects that both support NYPIRG's statewide agenda and focus on local issues. NYPIRG's full-time staff produces studies on a wide array of topics, coordinates state campaigns, lobbies public officials and works with students.
In addition, NYPIRG's outreach program travels to communities across the state to educate and activate local residents on vital issues. NYPIRG's citizen membership exceeds 85,000 people from all parts of the state. These members give NYPIRG political clout and make our lobbying efforts successful.
