SUMMIT — Students supporting students

SUMMIT is a student-led nonprofit building structured peer support for students in Grades 7–12. Our work begins in Edmonton, with a vision to reach schools across Alberta and Canada.

OUR MODEL
Trained student volunteers, supported by school counselling staff, listen, respect boundaries, and help peers connect with appropriate resources. Peer support complements professional care.

WHAT WE ARE WORKING TOWARD
• Structured peer support with training, clear boundaries, and referral pathways.
• Student-led workshops on stress, academic pressure, supporting friends, and finding resources.
• Fundraising for quiet rooms, peer support spaces, and resource libraries in schools.
