Social Institute outlines peer-to-peer life-skills program for North Wales Wolfpack students
Summary
Ali Lipscher of the Social Institute said the group will work with fifth- through 12th-graders at North Wales Wolfpack using peer-to-peer lessons on topics such as group-chat conflict and ethical AI; she said the program will not collect student data or require student accounts. No start date was specified.
Ali Lipscher, a staff member with the Social Institute, presented the organization’s peer-to-peer life-skills program for North Wales Wolfpack students, saying it will work with fifth- through 12th-graders using interactive lessons aimed at building everyday life skills.
Lipscher said the Social Institute partners with K–12 schools nationwide to “support students and their role models, that’s educators and families, in navigating their roles in healthy and high-character ways.” She described a model that adapts to each school’s context and emphasizes student-to-student interaction.
The curriculum will reportedly cover practical topics students face, including how to navigate group-chat drama and how to think about the ethical use of artificial intelligence — including issues of plagiarism. Lipscher said lessons are designed to be "super easy for teachers to run," allowing teachers to learn alongside students and to focus classroom time where students need the most support.
On privacy protections, Lipscher said, “They never collect any student data.” She added that students will not have accounts and that the program does not collect names or identifying information; instead, activities let students share experiences in ways that give teachers better insight into student needs without creating identifiable records.
Lipscher also said the program includes supports intended to help families navigate challenges students are experiencing. The transcript does not include a timeline for rollout or a firm start date for the North Wales Wolfpack implementation.
The presentation focused on program design and protections; no formal action, vote or contract award appeared in the recorded segment.
