Social Justice Peer Educators
The Social Justice Peer Educators (SJPEs) program is a peer-to-peer social justice program and paid leadership opportunity for students.
The opportunity includes the training of student leaders who are passionate about social justice to facilitate peer-led workshops on identity, inclusion and social justice. Applications are accepted during the spring semester for the following academic year.
Applications for the 2024–2025 academic year have closed.
You are invited to apply for the program when the application opens again in the Spring or email the program director at tchizjr@udel.edu for other ways to get involved!
One of the most important things I have learned through this program is how to be an accomplice and strive for social justice in every aspect of life. I have learned that to just discuss these uncomfortable topics is not enough, but to actually enact change, changes must be made frequently no matter how small.
