Amateur Radio Youth Association

Organization Purpose

This club works with a national group called Amateur Radio Emergency Service (A.R.E.S.) to provide communications to areas where there are no normal communications such as power, phone lines, cell phones, ect. These areas can be anywhere a natural or man made disaster has occurred. Also our purpose is to provide a hands on learning experience for youth of all ages. People at the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) have found that hands on learning helps more students learn better in multiple subjects such as math, sciences, technology, language arts, vocational trades, and more. This group is here to provide a fun yet educational hobby that the whole family will enjoy.
