Red Ribbon Week is October 25-30.

This year, during Red Ribbon Week, we are promoting Natural High which was founded on the research-based principle that if young people hear compelling stories from storytellers who are talking about choosing their natural high over drugs and alcohol abuse, then they will be motivated to do the same thing. Role models who exemplify an aspirational lifestyle can influence young people in a positive way.

Natural High’s Mission is to INSPIRE and EMPOWER youth to find their Natural High and develop the skills and courage to LIVE LIFE WELL
