The Jr.-Sr. High School Natural Helpers Club members recently attended a three-day retreat at Camp Quinipet on Shelter Island where they learned how to become a trusted friend, allowing them to create a helpful network of peers throughout the school.  

The Natural Helpers program trains and empowers students to support peers, recognizing that young people will often confide in friends first when something is wrong in their lives. The members learned listening and helping skills, as well as when to refer a peer to a professional.  

During the month of November, the club also collected candy donations, which are being sent to the troops through Operation Shoebox, boosting the morale of the brave military service men and women.
