WHO WE ARE
EMPowerMe recognizes that the information discussed is sensitive, but would create a safe space for the students to discuss freely, if supported by the school and parents. Students between the ages 12-17 struggle to openly have these conversations.
EMPowerMe seeks to address this gap by achieving the following goals:
Explore and create learning opportunities- for both students and parents- from the experts.
Engage School and County administration to discuss, understand and further the initiatives in this area
Identify, solicit, and work with external governmental and law enforcement agencies that operate in this area and are willing to help
Invite industry experts, law enforcement officers, self-defense experts, and student counselors to conduct sessions to educate students
Fundraising programs to support other institutions supporting the causes tied to the purpose/mission
Community volunteering to spread awareness and develop interest among the members
Create a platform for idea/thought generation using technology as a resource

The scope of the club is not restricted to CHS but extends to the county, the state, and beyond. The club firmly believes in making the small start with the ambition of making it impactful and significant. EMPowerMe also notes that there are not many similar clubs at high schools across the country, and the service projects would evolve as the club expands and works towards its goal. The club will define its service projects in the due course of its operation.
