To Youth Leaders and Mentors:

As someone who cares about kids, you have the potential to influence young people, to effect outcomes. One of those outcomes can be keeping kids drug free. Why be concerned? Because the reality of drug use defies all stereotypes. It crosses all boundariesgender, age, race, ethnic background, income and geography. Every child is at risk when it comes to drugs. Look at the facts: 25 percent of 12th graders, 22 percent of 10th graders and 11 percent of 8th graders are current (past month) drug users. 1 40 percent of young people in grades 7-12 reported trying marijuana (the most widely used illegal drug in the U.S.) at least once. 2 9.1 percent of 8th graders, 6.6 percent of 10th graders, and 4.5 percent of 12th graders reported using inhalants in the past year. 3 Nearly 1 in 4 teens continue to rank drugs as the single most important problem facing people their age. 4 But theres something these figures dont indicate. Research shows that adolescent drug-use rates are influenced more by young peoples attitudes about drugsand by prevailing social normsthan by the availability of drugs.5 As a caring adult, your words and actions matter. They can reinforce young peoples healthy choices, especially the choice to stay drug free. This Group Activity Guide offers fun and easy activities to help you do just that. The activities are designed to let young people see for themselves that drug use is not the norm. Being drug-free is.

What's Your Anti-Drug?

Most of Americas kids have something special in their livessomething important enough to stand between them and drugs. That is their "Anti-Drug." You can build on this fact and get kids to be part of a nationwide drugprevention awareness initiative that affirms and reinforces their healthy choices. The National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign (Campaign)a massive national awareness effort that reaches youth where they live and hang outprovides a backdrop for the activities in this Guide. Ads in entertainment, music, sports and youth-targeted publications, as well as on television, radio and the Internet, help motivate kids to identify their Anti-Drugs. Through these activities, your group can join the millions of young people who already have publicly declared their choice to be drug free. Your role? Encourage youth to identify the Anti-Drugs in their livesthe people, hobbies, talents, the things that make them feel aliveand help them share that special positive motivator with peers through activities featured in this Guide. Preventing drug use takes more than lectures and teaching kids to say no. It also means teaching them to say yesto themselves and to responsibility. The simple activities in this Guide help young people celebrate saying yes to healthy choices. We encourage you to weave these exercises into existing programs or use them to turn unexpected and unplanned minutes in your schedule into positive, teachable moments.

ACTIVITY #1: THATS ME ICEBREAKER

Goal:

To provide an active warm-up to help youth focus on thinking about their various interests and pursuits.
Chairs. 1. Have youth sit on the floor or in chairs. 2. The facilitator instructs the group that he or she will be calling out various pastimes, hobbies and interests, such as fishing, sewing, cooking, playing soccer, etc., in a format such as Who likes? 3. Each time a question is asked, if the activity is of interest to a youth, that youth jumps up and says, That's me! Continue until the entire group is standing. Once everyone is standing have them look around the room and acknowledge that everyone can stand up and be counted as having an interest or Anti-Drug that matters in their lives. Note: The leader may want to begin by asking about less common activities (sewing and fishing) and working towards more popular activities (soccer and basketball). This will help to ensure that the entire group will not stand up after one question is asked.

Recommended Materials: Procedure:

Closure:

Have everyone return to his or her seat and discuss how these activities can be considered Anti-Drugs. Lead the youth in a conversation about the benefits of these activities in their lives. Break the youth into groups that mix a range of responses. Have them discuss in depth how these activities keep them from using drugs. They can then share their thoughts with the whole group. Youth can tally and compare answers based on gender, age, grade level, etc.
