​We also offer extracurricular learning and development in the form of the Peer Education Program. The Peer Education Program is a student volunteer-based program that is aimed at promoting healthy living in the TUT community. It is regarded as a useful strategy in health promotion, as peers can form partnerships in strengthening strategies that are aimed towards behavioural change. It has evolved into numerous H&W programs that offer experiential opportunities to enhance leadership, interpersonal, communication and advocacy skills.​

The Peer Educators at TUT play the following roles:

• ​Educators - provide basic information about healthy living and HIV awareness in a youth-friendly way.
  
• Role models - act as positive role models for students and reinforce positive values and attitudes.
  
• Supporters - build trusting relationships with peers and provide support regarding psychosocial problems that place students at risk of contracting HIV and other health-related conditions.
  
• Referral agents - identify learners with psychosocial problems, support them and, if necessary, refer them to the Directorate of Health and Wellness or community agencies such as clinics and social workers.
  
• Advocates - raises awareness of issues and services available and make the Directorate of Health and Wellness aware of the health needs of students.
  
• Peer Educators at TUT also develop and participate in campus and community partnerships that advance health promotion initiatives.
