The OnLife team visited the beautiful campus of UCLA to talk to students and inform them about suicide prevention and resources. We were at UCLA from the morning till late afternoon close by to the Bruin Bear near the bookstore on campus. We had a great time and the students came by to share their stories and learn more about what we do and how they can help. Thanks to everyone involved.
We are excited to present our newest staff member Matt Pick! Matt is the promotional development and merchandise design head which is the core to our new Defend Life youth outreach campaign. Matt comes from a rich academic background as well as a personal connection to what OnLife is, and looks forward to begin work with us. Welcome aboard, Matt!
OnLife is excited to announce the addition of two more volunteers to our team. Sharon Gao and Judy Rattana are local San Diego volunteers who have been longtime advocates for suicide prevention and non-profit work. Sharon is currently a student at Torrey Pines High School who specializes in graphic design, and will be helping us in developing new posters, flyers and website graphics. Judy has worked and volunteered around many non-profits in Southern California and will help OnLife with public relations and event planning. Welcome aboard!
As a part of OnLife’s continuing college tour, we have made our way south to the University of Tennessee! OnLife spent the afternoon handing flyers out as well as talking to faculty and students about the importance of suicide prevention and awareness. OnLife was well-received there and the people we have spoke to said we were welcome to come back anytime in the future.
Izzy began volunteering for OnLife Prevention since fall of 2009. Born and raised in San Diego, Izzy has been a long-time supporter for OnLife. He is currently attending Canyon Crest Academy High School in the class of 2011. Izzy helps out with our local San Diego events as well as day-to-day activities. Over the summer of 2010, he will be working closely with OnLife to establish a suicide prevention club at Canyon Crest. In the fall, he plans to work with his fellow classmates to raise awareness of suicide prevention and hold events in school.
Welcome aboard, Izzy!
