You've probably heard of this organization...


Teen Betterment

Above the Influence
Created to spread awareness about illegal substance abuse, especially marijuana.
In your program, list some facts about different drugs and spread awareness about how dangerous they are. For example:
A risk of weed is you could become schizophrenic
You can die from the first use of meth, cocaine, and heroin
Ecstacy is addicting
Meth can cause audio and visual hallucinations
Ketamine was originally intended for an anesthetic for animals
Facts like that can be incorporated in several ways in a program. A scavenger hunt, jeopardy game, or even a discussion could really bring the point across.

I am very embarrassed in the span of time that I have not been posting. I apologize.

Parks Wildlife Conservation

Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation
A four-star rated non-profit charity, TPWF provides education, scholarship opportunities, internships, and outdoor activities for kids to teach about the conservation of parks and wildlife.
Clean up trash in a local park or even around your synagogue is a great way to exhibit concern for Earth and its conservation, which will show others in your community that they should become more involved.
