We are replacing the disastrous war on drugs with policies rooted in evidence, compassion, and human rights. Our 5,000 active members, made up of young people and students, mobilize from 300 schools to make change from the campus to the United Nations.
We do this work because the war on drugs is a war on us.
Change your campus. Change our world.
Real World Policy Reform
We ensure active and meaningful participation of youth and youth-related organizations in the development, implementation and evaluation of drug policies and programs.
Campus Change
We reform campus drug policies, replacing detrimental punishment with supportive, life-saving responses to complex situations.
Harm Reduction Action
We expand harm reduction in our communities through campus action and partnerships with harm reduction service providers.
Peer Support-Based Drug Education
We deliver evidence based peer-to-peer drug education that empowers young people to navigate the complex choices regarding drugs and drug use.
