Join us for a one-day professional learning experience designed for staff who support student peer clubs, programs, or classes. Participants will explore how the civic inquiry process can help students investigate real-world health and substance-use issues, evaluate evidence, consider multiple perspectives, engage in civil dialogue, communicate their findings, and take informed action within their schools and communities.

Throughout the training, participants will experience the civic inquiry process firsthand and explore how it can be integrated into existing or emerging peer programs. From identifying a concern and asking meaningful questions to researching an issue, developing evidence-informed recommendations, engaging decision-makers, and taking action. Using youth substance-use prevention as an authentic context, participants will work with data, research, articles to issues such as vaping, cannabis, tobacco, and alcohol.
