Irvington High School, home of the Blue Knights, is a four-year school serving approximately 1,400 students in 9th-12th grade .
Two community-based organizations, The Bridge, Inc. and SAVE of Essex County, have partnered with Irvington High School to create a Peer-to-Peer Leadership Group designed to engage teens as peer educators and community activists focused on educating and raising awareness to prevent sexual violence.
Through the peer-to-peer approach, the teens take the lead on designing and carrying out projects to prevent sexual violence in their school and community. The group meets biweekly and each meeting covers a different aspect of awareness and prevention, such as healthy vs. unhealthy relationships, consent, college campus sexual assault, human trafficking, and more.
