Peer Assistance and Leadership (PAL)
Peer Assistance and Leadership (PAL) is an award-winning program that offers effective training in "resiliency" strategies. The PAL program combats risky behaviors among youth. Skills taught include but are not limited to, group dynamics, building positive character traits, social, communication, decision-making and problem-solving skills, and cultural awareness.
The PAL program provides guidance and mentoring for student peers and elementary students on issues such as social skills. The PAL classes enrich their schools and community through service learning projects and extended volunteer activities.
The PAL program is an approved Texas Education Agency course for 8th-grade students at the middle school level, 10th-grade students at the high school level, and for 11th and 12th-grade students at the senior high school level.
