Alcohol and Drug Awareness Project
Committee Advisor: Brandon Muth
Project Leader: Position Available

Project Meeting times to be announced

The objective of this project is to reach out to the local youth and inform them about the affects of drugs and alcohol. We travel to different high schools around the Chico area and present PowerPoint presentations. The PowerPoint discusses all the different types of drugs as well as the ways they can and do alter one's senses and brain functions. We also talk about the short and long term affects that drugs and alcohol play on the body as well as its major organs. This project looks great on a resume and provides opportunities for public speaking.

Soldier's Shoulder
Committee Advisor: Lisa Kenneweg
Project Leader: Morgan Buzdon

Wednesdays at 6 PM in the Library

Soldiers Shoulder gives AMA members the opportunity to help provide goods and needed support to our servicemen and servicewomen currently serving overseas. Previously, AMA members worked side by side with local high school students at Chico High to gather and send care packages to our troops aboard. This year we plan to expand our project and make our goals known to the community. We also intend to gather and ship out used cell phones for our troops abroad.  If you know someone currently stationed overseas please give us their FPO address so we can send them a care package.
