Herren Project Club Spotlight
As the new school year begins, there’s no better way to launch into a season of growth than by celebrating the students already leading with purpose. Across the country, Herren Project Clubs are hosting fairs, holding first meetings, and welcoming new members—showing that prevention, wellness, and recovery are student-powered movements.
This September, we’re spotlighting four standout schools whose early efforts are already making an impact.
Hilton Head Preparatory School — South Carolina
At Hilton Head Prep, the Herren Project Club made a big impression during their club fair. With a well-organized display and passionate student leaders ready to talk about the mission of substance use prevention and mental health awareness, their energy was inspiring.
Abby Frey, a newly appointed Herren Project Ambassador, also serves as the club’s advisor. She’s now entering her second year of guiding this caring and compassionate community—bridging national advocacy with local action.
Legacy Magnet Academy — California
A big shoutout goes to the Legacy Magnet Academy club for an impressive club-rush event. Aubree, one of Herren Project’s National Youth Ambassadors and the founder of the school’s club, spearheaded the outreach to attract new members and share the benefits of involvement.
Her dedication to the mission of prevention, wellness, and recovery shines through both her national advocacy and local leadership, setting a tone of compassion and resilience for the school year ahead.
Westford Academy — Massachusetts
At Westford Academy, student leaders proudly presented a vibrant and informative table at their activities fair. With a detailed poster, club photos, and QR codes linking to both the Herren Project website and their Google Classroom, they made it clear that everyone is welcome to get involved.
The strong turnout and interest in membership mean exciting plans ahead: wellness events, awareness campaigns, and community service that will bring students together.
Highland Park High School — Texas
Highland Park High School’s club began the year with its first official meeting, introducing the mission and electing student officers. That structure is already fueling momentum, with officers mapping out a calendar of prevention education, peer support, and outreach activities.
By encouraging open conversations around mental health and substance use, Highland Park’s student leaders are creating a safer, more supportive school environment for their peers.
A Movement Growing Nationwide
These four clubs are just a glimpse of the hundreds of Herren Project Clubs across the country. Whether through wellness events, peer education, or simply creating spaces where students feel seen and supported, these leaders are proof that young people can shift the culture of their schools and communities.
The Herren Project Club program equips students with the tools and support they need to make informed choices, raise awareness, and lead with kindness.
To every advisor, school staff member, family, and community partner backing these efforts—thank you. Your support makes this possible.
