JS2SC

Junior Student 2 Student (JS2S)

Established in 2004, Student 2 Student (S2S) is a peer-to-peer student-led program that brings military and civilian students together to welcome new students, create a positive environment for all, support educational opportunities, build connections through service, and ease transitions.

Students make a positive impact on their school and community using the S2S six core values: Leadership, Academics, Service, Climate and Culture, Relationships, and 100% Acceptance.

JS2S Teams:

  • Welcome every new student who enrolls in their school on that student’s first day.
  • Give new students a welcome packet and tour of the school with a map showing them their classes and important locations on campus.
  • Ensure new students eat lunch with someone and help them feel acclimated and comfortable.
  • Check back with new students after a few days and weeks to see how they are adjusting.
  • Host social events and meetings for new students and current members to learn about each other and build new connections.
  • Engage in school and community service projects that exemplify the core values of the program and offer students the opportunity to connect with others.
  • Educate the principal, school staff, parents, and community about the program’s mission.
  • Provide a meaningful way to say goodbye once they learn a student is moving.
  • Seek guidance from their sponsor if they notice a new student or current member is having difficulties or may need additional support.

  1. Leadership: Student Character Growth
  2. Academics: Educational Opportunities
  3. Service: Outreach and Advocacy
