Students in Prevention

Are you interested in careers in the Public and Human Services?  If you are then this opportunity is right for you.  The county of San Joaquin trains, hires, and pays eligible Sophomores and Juniors to be peer educators in their tobacco, alcohol, and drug prevention program called "Students in Prevention" or "SIP."   SIP provides its participants an opportunity to share, grow, and learn.  Peer Educators are actual paid employees of SJCPS, receiving up to four (4) weeks of training at minimum wage, thirty (30) hours per week.  SIP is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Peer Educators are also role models to the general community.  They are positive examples of what youth can be – caring for their peers and the community in which they live.  They participate in community service activities and promote advocacy campaigns to promote the importance of living a drug-free life.
