Peer Helpers are students who provide a lifeline to fellow students facing a problem or issue. Peer Helping is making a difference in the lives of our youth!

Our Peer Programs

The Jennifer Claire Moore Foundation is a non-profit corporation that provides training, funding and support for school-based peer programs and other services for youth. Since 1998, our programs have been preparing students to serve as advocates, mediators, mentors, tutors and friends to their fellow students. Our “Peer Helper and Peer Leader” program trains educators and helps youth assist their peers in dealing with bullying/cyber-bullying, depression, suicide, divorce, dropout, drugs and alcohol, weight, self-esteem, and a host of other issues. Our programs have helped thousands of young people by providing them with the knowledge, resources and confidence needed to successfully navigate the pressures of day-to-day life. The Foundation also partners with other organizations and agencies to provide additional critical training and services for youth and educators.

About Peer Helping

Statistics show that when a teen has an issue generally he or she will talk to a peer first, even before a teacher or a parent. In 1998, Foley High School was the first Baldwin County School to implement the Peer Helper program as part of the Jennifer Claire Moore Foundation's efforts to provide a support group among high school students. As of  July  2011, Peer Helper  programs have been implemented in every public school, and two private schools, totaling 44 Baldwin County schools.  Every student in these schools will be touched by the Peer Helper Program. Since its inception, the Jennifer Claire Moore Foundation has provided services to thousands of students.

A Message from our Founder

Dear Friends,

My world changed on the day my husband and I lost our daughter, Jennifer. Words can't describe the feeling of losing a child - it's an experience no parent should ever have to face. In the midst of our devastation, I knew there was still hope and wanted to make something positive out of this negative situation - that was the start of the Jennifer Claire Moore Foundation.

In 1998, the Jennifer Claire Moore Foundation was established to help Baldwin County Schools create a support group among high school students. These proven programs provide a critical lifeline to help students cope with the day-to-day pressures facing our youth.

I wish the Jennifer Claire Moore Foundation had existed to help my daughter. We want any child who needs support to be able to obtain it. We know our foundation can be a blessing, offering hope to those in search of it.

The Jennifer Claire Moore Foundation is doing great things in our community and we are making ambitious plans to expand our programs and services. We see our foundation making a difference in the lives of our youth as we continue to provide hope and a future for those in search of help. Thank you for your interest in the Jennifer Claire Moore Foundation. Remember, there's always hope!

Sincerely,

Frances Holk Moore Jones
