About Roundabout Peer Education
Roundabout believes in the power of early intervention to prevent homelessness. That’s why our Peer Education Project is dedicated to educating students under 18 about homelessness in a friendly and engaging way.
Our ground-breaking project is delivered by trained volunteers, who have experienced homelessness and received support from Roundabout. They deliver eye-opening sessions in schools aiming to break stereotypes, explore the reasons young people become homeless using real life stories and inform young people of local organisations that can help.
Additionally, our Peer Education Project serves as a pathway to our mediation service, explaining its benefits and guiding students to our drop-in sessions at school.
Being a Peer Educator not only helps young people gain confidence and skills but also earns them a valuable accredited qualification for their hard work.
“Being a Peer Educator for Roundabout allows me to tell my story to younger kids in schools, and show them that if they ever go through what I did, I can say there are ways out of it and I can show them where to go for help.”
