For all that are looking for some summer community service hours. Please make sure you properly document your participation to receive credit.
What if we stopped just reacting to the headlines and started preventing them?
Every day we see another post about a DWI arrest, a shooting, drugs, violence, or another young person making a life-changing decision. It’s easy to comment on the problem. It’s harder—but far more important—to become part of the solution.
Andrea’s Project is calling on everyone who wants to see real change in our community to join the Panhandle Prevention & Intervention Coalition.
We’re bringing together parents, youth, schools, law enforcement, healthcare, faith leaders, businesses, nonprofits, and community members who are ready to get to the root of what’s happening and work together to create lasting solutions.
We know that when young people have access to alcohol and other drugs, the risk of impaired driving, violence, crime, and other harmful behaviors increases. Prevention is about addressing those root causes before another family experiences tragedy.
Andrea’s Project was founded after 17-year-old Andrea Elizalde was killed by an impaired driver. We can’t change what happened to Andrea, but we can honor her by working together to prevent it from happening to someone else’s child.
This isn’t just another meeting. It’s an opportunity to help shape the future of our community.
📅 Friday, July 31
🕒 3:00–5:00 PM
📍 Amarillo College First Responder Academy
3891 Plains Blvd., Amarillo, TX

Whether you have five minutes, five hours, or simply ideas to share, your voice matters. Together we can strengthen families, reduce youth substance use, prevent impaired driving, and build a safer Panhandle for everyone.
Let’s stop asking why these tragedies keep happening and start working together to prevent them.
