Lorraine is passionate about leadership and it shows in her program. -Mina A , Executive Director NHFBLA
It's been a pleasure having Lorraine Connell of Peers Not Fears lead programs and consult with staff in our afterschool program for diverse 7-12 graders. Lorraine's programs get our participants excited about sharing, learning, thinking critically, and working as a team. During Lorraine's programs, teens demonstrate leadership, explore their identities, and are challenged to think differently. Our staff members have appreciated drawing on Lorraine's experience and holistic perspectives. - Zachary P, Executive Director Kingswood Youth Center
