Peer Support and Youth Leadership

SUMMARY - Peer Support and Youth Leadership

Consider the perspective of Elena, a twenty-two-year-old social work student in Vancouver who volunteers at a youth drop-in center. For her, peer support is not merely a service delivery model but a philosophical imperative. She observes that traditional hierarchical interventions often fail to resonate with youth experiencing homelessness, who may carry deep-seated mistrust of institutional authority.
