How Can We Help?
S2S for High Schools
 JS2S for Middle Schools

What is S2S ?

Imagine wondering if you will need to eat your
lunch in the restroom for the next 2 weeks. S2S
can ease those fears.

The MCEC Student 2 Student (S2S) program trains
civilian and military-connected school students to
establish and sustain peer-based programs in their
schools to support mobile children as
they transition to and from
the school.

What would a deployment Club
look like?

Middle/High School- A time to gather
together to talk, being heard will make
the greatest impact. Lunchtime would be
ideal.

Elementary-Lunchtime gatherings to talk, I
have many resources to help such as time
capsules to chart growth, books to read
and discuss
I am here to help!

You do not have to do this alone. I am
here to help you. I can facilitate or assist.
