Peer Ambassador Spotlight: Shelby Gerstenberger
In honor of National Volunteer Appreciation Week we wanted to give a big shout out to all of our Peer Ambassadors who have been working very hard since we met in Dallas back in October of 2009. Our Peer Ambassadors have been raising awareness about teen dating abuse at their schools and in their communities by hosting block parties, starting clubs, giving presentations & leading workshops.
Shelby, a Peer Ambassador from California, has prepared presentations for the health classes at her school. She has also requested pamphlets from the local domestic violence shelters to hand out to all the local high schools. She is also thinking of leading a Saturday workshop in her community open to all the public to promote healthy relationships. She has also started a club at her school to educate her peers on the dynamics of teen dating abuse. In this photo, Shelby is recruiting more members for the club at her school.
