About the Program

What We Provide

Drug Educators Alliance provides youth drug education presentations and educational resources designed to make important information about drugs easier to understand.

Presentations may use educational materials from the Foundation for a Drug-Free World together with Drug Educators Alliance educational content and outreach resources.

The emphasis is on truthful, factual, age-appropriate information. We do not believe young people need exaggerated claims or scare tactics in order to understand that drug-related decisions can carry serious consequences.

Presentation scope, location, scheduling, and availability depend on staffing, funding, and the needs of the requesting school or community organization.
