PLUS Leadership

PLUS Program » PLUS is Changing Student Leadership

To build strong student engagement and connections we built our safe schools model on the evidence found in the research on youth development and the effectiveness of peer to peer programs. Teams of staff members are trained to manage a youth empowered program that utilizes social leadership qualities to connect all students.  A diverse cross section of student leaders facilitate a series of activities that create communication, connections, care and community amongst a student body.  Utilizing best practice strategies, the  student leaders serve as the liaison between the student body and the adults on a campus.  Schools implementing PBIS and Multi Tiered Systems of Support have found the PLUS Program to be a perfect fit for student involvement at a Tier 1 intervention level.
