What is Peer Health Advocates?
Peer Health Advocates (PHA) is a peer-to-peer volunteer organization committed to enhancing the health of the OSU community through social advocacy, outreach & events, and service learning. PHAs engage in advocacy for social justice and volunteerism within the community (service learning). Additionally, volunteers conduct campus activities designed to raise awareness about college health issues and promote healthy behavior choices among our peers. Past events and projects have included awareness of safer sex behaviors, HIV/AIDS, health impact of global warming, drugs/alcohol, hunger awareness and other health related issues. Students involved with PHA are rewarded with improved leadership, interpersonal, advocacy and communication skills; along with meaningful opportunities to make a difference within the OSU community. Peer Health Advocates is open and available to all OSU students, and is dedicated to promoting an open exchange of information, ideas, opinions and inclusiveness of all students, including: race/ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability, and religion.
