We will be holding our first semester meeting tomorrow in the cafeteria. We will hopefully have a room and an official day and time for the rest of the meetings by next week. So come out tomorrow and see what M.E.Ch.A is all about.
MEChA is an acronym for Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan. MEChA is much more than a club -- we are a National student organization that unites all Chicano students in their quest to enhance the development of our society through education. We believe that political involvment and education is the avenue for change in our society. In order to do this we need an organized and focused organization with commited leaders and members who are willing to be role models for our community. We must be willing to build and demonstrate strong character in mind and body if we are to accomplish significant change in attitudes and behavior in our families, friends, acquantances and leaders.
What can I expect to gain out of MEChA?
MEChA is a training groud for leadership. Through participating and coordinating MECha events, one can gain invaluable leadership skills. Mechistas also have the privilege of helping fellow students and their community in addition to finding a sence of identity and self-empowerment. It is a learning and fulfilling experience that helps develop a political consciousness and provides a sence of familia.
