The Shasta Peer Mentoring Program is off to a great start. Sixteen students who have completed applications, submitted to an interview, and participated in a six hour training program, have been accepted as mentors.

During these sessions there are supervised games, fun times, and discussions. Each meeting involves different topics such as, gossip, media influence, goal-setting, drugs, alcohol, and other things that students struggle with.
