The Red Watch Band:
The Red Watch Band Program is in its fourth year at the University of Iowa. The training program focuses on preventing death from alcohol overdose. Students are taught the knowledge and skills to "make the call," and using role plays, given opportunities to build confidence to intervene on behalf of another. For more information click here.
Health Ninjas:
As Health Ninjas, students influence friends and peers to make healthy choices. They are trained and equipped with interesting health knowledge that may be used in everyday conversations.
