Here’s what former students have to say about Peers for Pride and being peer educators:
“Peers for Pride has been one of my most meaningful experiences in college. I have become much more comfortable having difficult conversations with people, have an easier time expressing my opinion on different topics, and feel that I have grown not only as an ally to identities that I did not know much about before, but that I am now able to help others begin or advance their personal journey of allyship.” – Peers for Pride Peer Educator, 14-15
“Through brainstorming multiple answers, strategies and possible outcomes to a moment of struggle, a moment of oppression or injustice, I use my facilitation as a rehearsal for life for myself and the audience.” – Bex Orton, Peers for Pride Peer Educator, 15-16
“I teach because it is also my goal to educate other queer people to be good allies to others within the queer community. For example, during my facilitation portion of one of the open workshops, I explained that it is important to think about racial identity within queer communities and how standards of beauty within society, i.e. heteronormative standards, affect our interactions with other queer people.” – Ruben Sáenz, Peers for Pride Educator, 15-16
