Jennifer Rauhouse, Executive Director, Founder
For 27 years, Jennifer Rauhouse has worked to end
violence before it begins by cultivating equality and respect
to prevent the underlying causes of harm. She founded Peer
Solutions in May of 1996 and for the past 13 years has developed,
implemented and evaluated STAND & SERVE, an asset-driven primary
prevention initiative designed to unite school, family and
community members to take ownership of problems and the solutions.
Jennifer is currently assisting the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention to develop Sexual Violence Prevention Program
and Evaluation Guidelines, facilitates workshops across the
county, continues to learn and is more than willing to share
lessons in order to maximize all our change efforts. She believes
in helping to create a world of peace, love and respect and
that it takes everyone. We are all Peers, We are all the Solution.
She received the 2006 Kris Bell Preventionist of the Year
Award for Arizona. Jennifer has a BA in Sociology of Law from
