In previous years, PGC leaders had to take part in an overnight trip, which sometimes prevented students from being able to participate. This year, the PGC program will switch to a three-day in school program, said Monique Paes, one of the PGC Advisors. This switch allows more students to take part.
The new in-school program in the fall will focus on three sessions led by Paes and Takiyah Brown, the other advisor. On the first day , there will be a session to get to know each other and the other selected members. On the second and third day , there will be Peer Group Connection [PGC] training. These sessions leaders work with their assigned groups of ninth graders next school year.
