Drugs pose a serious threat to society.
They destroy lives and fuel crime. We must do everything we can to keep kids from using drugs. NHTI offers prevention programs that train and motivate teens to make a positive difference in their schools and communities. The institute's unique training format empowers teens to create healthy lifestyles and positive environments for themselves and others. An estimated 8 million kids under the age of 18 are now using illegal drugs, and one out of 10 kids in the U.S. between the ages of 12 and 17 abuse drugs.
