Project Title: Youth Education & Prevention Live Presentation Program
Project Description:

Decades of research from respected academic institutions have shown that pornography consumption can have significant negative impacts on individuals, relationships, and society. Despite this, many people remain unaware of the harms associated with porn. As the influence of pornography continues to grow, it is increasingly important to educate audiences about its well-documented harms, including its connections to all forms of sexual exploitation. This is particularly crucial for the rising generations of youth who are growing up in the digital age, as it is now statistically a matter of when—not if—they will be exposed to pornography.

Fight the New Drug’s Live Presentation Program offers age-appropriate, interactive presentations that include relevant research, humor, and engaging multimedia elements to captivate and educate audiences about the harmful effects of pornography. The content and materials for the Live Presentation Program are carefully curated with oversight from qualified researchers, academics, and clinical professionals, ensuring quality, accuracy, and effectiveness in addressing how pornography can impact individuals, relationships, and society.

A variety of unique presentations are available for middle school, high school, and college/university students, as well as for parents, educators, community leaders, professionals, and industry leaders. These presentations provide transformative educational opportunities that empower audiences to make informed choices and promote positive change.

We are currently seeking funding to update this program and certify additional presenters to ensure this pivotal educational and preventative program is broadly accessible to youth in need across the country.
