Train the adults and youth in your community using our youth THC prevention curriculum!
This course is free IF you are:
*EMPLOYED BY A SCHOOL (counselor, teacher, administrator, nurse, SAC)
* EMPLOYED by A DRUG-FREE COMMUNITY (DFC) as the executive director or staff (not just a member of the coalition – your salary is 100% funded by DFC funds)
* A SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER (SRO)
* A student WITH an adult sponsor
For all other agencies, health departments, behavioral health centers, non-profit and for-profit organizations, etc., an individual license is $299 per curriculum (adult or youth) per year.
Have you been asked to give a presentation in your classroom, community, or business on youth THC prevention? You can go through our train-the-trainer class (digital on demand), license our materials, and save yourself countless hours of time by using our PowerPoint, instructor manual, handouts, and videos! You do not need to be a “speaker.” You will receive all the files you need with the exact script on what to say! You’ll also receive a video of Laura Stack presenting the content, so you can practice. Everything is self paced, and you don’t have to wait for an in-person class to get certified (you just watch a video).
As a Certified Johnny’s Ambassadors Trainer in your community, you’ll be teaching a one-hour, evidence-based, science-based class on “The Dangerous Truth About Today’s Marijuana: The Harms of Youth Marijuana Use.” Currently, we offer an adult/parent version (for audiences with no teens present) and a teen/student version.
You will be added to our directory by city and state, in case someone in your area is looking for someone to give a presentation.
The train-the-trainer class was recorded, so you don’t have to wait for it to be held again in person. You’ll simply watch Laura teach the course until you feel comfortable teaching it on your own.
ADULT VERSION ALSO AVAILABLE IN SPANISH!
Each class (adult or teen) is $299 per year for individuals who wish to use the class in their work, or $999 for organizations with multiple trainers (such as schools – per location). If you want to host an event to raise funds for Johnny’s Ambassadors, please email [email protected].
