History
of Project Life |
|
There are some people who let the world pass
them by, never taking the steps to ensure that
no one gets left behind. Then there are
those that fight to help those in need and bring
awareness to the growing problem. Project
Life is based on these people and their
principles.
It all started in the summer of 2000, a group of
high school students were together at Leadership
Camp. They saw a problem and decided that
they were going to take action against it.
At the time all they had was a name (Project
Life) and an idea. That idea was the
prevention of suicide.
Now, almost seven years later we have a list of
directives and a plan. Since that fateful
day in July of 2000, when a handful of kids
stepped up to the plate and took action, our
state has dropped two "rungs" in the
list ranking the number of suicides by state.
The state of Montana was once number one, we are
now number three. The new group of Key
Clubbers that has adopted the mission of Project
Life wishes to lower that number even more.
But we cannot do it alone.

Every 17 seconds someone
attempts suicide... Every 17 minutes someone
succeeds.
