Link Crew
Link Crew is a high school transition program that welcomes freshmen to Mesa Ridge. The goal is to help freshmen feel comfortable throughout the first year of their high school experience. Built on the belief that students can help students succeed, Link Crew Leaders (upper classmen) are positive role models, who guide the freshmen to discover what it takes to be successful.
Sources of Strength
Our mission is to provide the highest quality evidence-based prevention for suicide, violence, bullying and substance abuse by training, supporting, and empowering both peer leaders and caring adults to impact their world t
Sources of Strength is a strength-based, comprehensive wellness program that focuses on suicide prevention but impacts other issues such as substance abuse and violence. The program is based on a relational connections model that uses teams of Peer Leaders mentored by Adult Advisors to change peer social norms about help seeking and encourages students to individually assess and develop strengths in their life, through the power of connection, hope, help and strength.
We believe that many strengths are more powerful than one, and our united goal is to activate and mobilize these strengths in ways that positively change individuals and communities.
