Our club's mission is to create a supportive and safe environment for students to learn about the benefits of abstinence. We're a group dedicated to having a safe and fun conversation on abstaining from drugs, alcohol, and sex. Our mission is to spread information and provide resources on promoting abstinence while also offering alternatives. We will be a club where students are encouraged to share their thoughts, concerns, and queries without judgment. By providing encouragement and education, we can make it easier for students to talk openly about issues related to sexual and mental health. We will support each other and create a safe space where every student feels welcome and included.

During our meetings, we will strive to create an engaging environment, where students can collaborate on how to raise money and awareness for kids around the county who can’t afford easy access to meals, through making breakfast, holding food drives, presentations, and more. We plan to donate raised funds and goods to charities like Manna Food Center and Montgomery County Food Council that help create equitable food access to people across the county. Students will be given the opportunity to share different cultural breakfast traditions, and will be able to learn and taste breakfast from around the world with a diverse group of students participating.
