Experience

Trumbull partnership against underage drinking and drugs
Jan 2014 - Jan 2016Student advisorStudent Advisor for TPAUD's teen group that meets at Trumbull High School every month to advise the group as to how to improve their outreach programs to the high schoolers and what new statistics to look for in reckless behavior in teens today. The group would come up wth new ways to prevent destructive behavior, raise awareness to their peers about issues such as drinking and driving, drugs, and smoking to name a few. Students were involved in helping with the Mock Car Crash at Trumbull High School, and students are encouraged to attend the town town wide coalition meetings where the students get a chance to voice their opinion in a meeting setting with town leaders. Participating encourages skills such as leadership, model behavior, and prevention work with peers and town leaders. This group allows the voice of the teenager to be heard about issues that try to distract them during their high school experience and how to prevent them. Show less
