Adult Advisors and Sponsoring Organizations
How can my organization support this week?
Your participation as an adult advisor/sponsoring organization for National Drug Facts Week is integral to the nationwide success of this week. You can support this week by partnering with local teens to support an event, holding an event, or by serving as a resource. Only adult advisors can register events and serve as points of contact.
Get involved, plan an event!
The main focus of all National Drug Facts Week events is to connect teens with local scientific experts in the field of drugs and drug abuse. Your organization can fill several different roles:
- Team up with teens: You may want to team up with a group of local teens to help them plan their event. Support your teen partners by acting as their adult advisor to their event, providing logistical planning support, and being the liaison to outside organizations, including NIDA. Use this teen toolkit and help teens Get Started.
- Plan an event: You may want to plan your own event for the community. Check out the Activities for teens’ section. Your event should cater to local teens and focus on allowing teens to ask questions and get answers from a scientific expert in the field of drug abuse and addiction.
- Be a resource: Your organization has a lot to offer teens in your community. Lend yourself as a resource to local teens that are planning events. Whether you have space to hold an event or you are a scientific expert willing to talk to teens about their questions, reach out to schools and local teens and let them know you are there for them!
