About the Project

EQ Ambassadors is a student led initiative to provide the students on the JFK campus Social-Emotional Support. By using peer mentorship, presentations, and group collaborative, student leaders hope to make sure that their peers are emotionally supported to be successful for high school. Moreover, student leaders will provide guidance to teachers so that they are better equipped and knowledgeable to support their students. While the program has been active, it lacks monetary support to streamline the program across the whole campus of 2200 students. In addition, funding would allow for the development of a freshmen focus program that would help to ensure incoming eighth graders are prepared to reach their full potential in high school.
