Lauryn Brenner

Lauryn is a junior at Calvary Lutheran in Jefferson City, MO.  She has been a member of Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) since 2014, where she has been a member of various committees, including the SADD Day Committee, It Only Takes One Committee, and the Red Ribbon Week Committee.  She was also the 2016 Prevention Day Student Spokesperson.

Lauryn is also active in her school’s Key Club, where she has been a member since 2014, and became a Board Member in 2015-2016.  She volunteers for a variety of causes through her membership in Key Club, including volunteering at the Special Learning Center and American Red Cross.

Drug and alcohol prevention is important to Lauryn for a number of reasons. It is important that everyone is kept safe, and Lauryn does not want any of my friends or family to die directly or indirectly as a result of drugs and alcohol.  Lauryn also wants her peers to do well in school and in their lives after school.  It is very important to Lauryn that her peers are aware of the consequences of drug and alcohol usage.

ACT Missouri welcomes new Youth Ambassador Coordinator

Chris DzurickChris Dzurick has been involved with the Missouri Youth Adult Alliance (MYAA) and ACT Missouri since his sophomore year of high school, when he reached out to the organization to help serve a need at his local school. He worked with the organization, attending Speak Hard as a workshop presenter and sharing resources with his school and community. Chris continued his substance abuse prevention work when he joined the staff of the Boys & Girls Club of Cape Girardeau, working with their SMARTMoves and MethSMART drug prevention curriculum. Chris is currently employed with the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education as the State Adviser for Missouri Future Business Leaders of America – Phi Beta Lambda. His passion for working with the future leaders is ingrained in his soul, and he hopes to make a difference in the outlook on America’s future.

Chris will lead a team of high school students in their efforts to promote substance abuse prevention within their schools, communities, and Missouri. He will provide leadership training, key data facts, and guidance at several events, including Prevention Day at the Missouri Capitol and the Speak Hard Youth Rally.
