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, 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 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 is only $299 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].
