Outreach CHOICES mission is to be a resource to college students on where they can get the reproductive healthcare that they may need, and to become a presence on a college campus in an attempt to engage other proactive people. Some activities that CHOICES intends to partake in is awareness-building campaigns like World AIDS Day, National Condom Week, Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month, STD Awareness Month, Love Your Body Week (initiated by NOW), and more. The club is also planning to offer discussion groups on campus that will include topics such as ‘Choice,’ abortion, condom, and birth control use, domestic violence, pregnancy options, abstinence and more. They have weekly meetings (please join them!) and provide educational resources to new club members, as well as providing a condom basket on campus. Students will be invited to get trained on birth control options, STIs, healthy relationships and more, and will also be given opportunities to educate the community in collaboration with other organizations like CoRR, DVSAC and Common Goals. A number of these students are also volunteering thei time to monitor the Information Baskets in the local Grass Valley and Nevada City businesses and table at the Grass Valley Marketplace.
