 Stories

“I am a psychology major that started my internship with Peer Power Foundation in the fall of 2020. I love interacting with my students and helping them in the classroom. I have led two small group discussions with my coworkers during Peer Power’s monthly LEAD meetings. I hope to incorporate my skills learned while being a Success Coach in my future career of being a School Psychologist.”
