Student leaders will help to review campus policies and data to select activities and evidence-based interventions to implement on their respective campuses. They’ll be asked to assist in developing a strategic prevention framework plan for their campus. They’ll work with student leaders from the other campuses involved in the project, will attend training and may present at conferences.
Students will be paid $12 an hour for up to 10 hours per week, per semester (fall, spring and summer). The Center of Excellence for Recovery was awarded a five-year grant for this project by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The student leaders will be building campus teams, implementing activities and delivering evidence-based practices. The hope is that students will be the boots on the ground for the initiative.
The program is looking for full-time students at any of the 10 participating institutions in the state.
