“If you can quit for a day, you
can quit for a lifetime.”

7. Behind The Name
Future: Our goal is to decrease the number of teens exposed or
using drugs, but we know it will take time.
Sober: We want a clean community where drug use is no longer an
issue and doing this means showing people why they should become
clean and stay clean.
Society: We are a group of people with a common goal.

8. About The Slogan
The reasoning behind the
slogan is very simple because
it's your choice whether or not to
use a substance. We hope you
make the right one, and choose
to refuse.

9. What leads to drug abuse?
● Poor living conditions
● Being peer pressured
● Media glamorization
● Family history with drug abuse

10. Effects of Drug Abuse

potential effects such as:
● Drug abuse can affect your body
● Drug abuse can affect your family
● Drug abuse can affect your life

11. The Action Plan & How
We could accomplish this by :
● Sending out surveys.
● Raise awareness about helping peers
or yourself that might be going
through substance abuse.
● Try to create a peer lead organization
to help peers who are also going
through substance abuse.
● Call a helpline and talk to a
professional who can get you help

12. This is a website that
through a helpline you
can talk to someone
about your struggles with
substance abuse and
addiction.
Drughelpline.org
Samhsa.gov
Even if you aren’t facing
these struggles if you
know someone who is
you can try to help them
and push them towards
getting help, whether it
is through professionals
or helplines

13. CHAT WEBSITE
Community
Being able to talk to a group
who understands is a way to
make you feel empowered and
supported. It helps people
realize they aren’t alone.
Anonymity
Many teens are afraid of the
consequences of opening up
about drugs (parental
punishment and social
exclusion being two common
ones).

15. Drug use percentages globally
15
United States & Eastern Europe : 5-6 % of the population struggles with drug usage,
this means that 1-in-20 suffers substance dependency.
Oceania, Western & Central Europe: 2-5 % of the population uses drugs
Across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia : 1-2 % of the population is suffering from
drug usage
In total around 164 million people have a drug use disorder!

16. Survey
● 70% of the teens here at Ambassador Leaders
had been exposed to and/or had the chance to
use drugs.
● According to CBS News, 81% of teens were
exposed to drugs, with 42% actually trying
them.
● But still 100% of teens know the risk factors.

17. Survey Cont.
● 84% of teens know someone who has used
drugs.
● Over 56% of teens would listen to a peer more
than adult or teacher about the danger of
drugs.
● The amount of teens being exposed to drugs
is unreal and causes great concern for the
future of our country.
