Inspire Smart Decisions This October
Every October, schools across the country come together to celebrate Red Ribbon Week . Red Ribbon Week is a powerful campaign to promote drug, alcohol, and tobacco prevention among youth. But for many schools, the challenge isn’t organizing the event. The challenge is finding a Red Ribbon Week speaker who can truly connect with students and influence the way they think.
That’s where I come in.
As a national youth speaker who specializes in decision-making and mental resilience, I offer a dynamic Red Ribbon Week program that goes far beyond scare tactics or surface-level messaging. My assemblies are designed to inspire long-term change by helping students understand why they make the choices they do and how to take back control of their lives.
What Makes My Red Ribbon Week Program Different?
Rather than telling students what not to do, my approach focuses on why they do it in the first place. Students are already aware that drugs and alcohol can be harmful. What they often don’t understand is how their self-worth, peer influence, and emotional overload can drive them to make risky choices.
In my Red Ribbon Week assembly, I help students:
This isn’t a lecture. It’s an experience.
Through storytelling, student interaction, and even live music, I create a high-energy, emotionally honest presentation that students actually remember.
Why Schools Trust Me as Their Red Ribbon Week Speaker
- Tailored to Your Students: I adjust the tone and content based on your school’s unique needs—whether you’re in a high-pressure academic district or a community facing tough social realities.
- Emotionally Intelligent Messaging: I speak to students with respect, honesty, and clarity—never from a pedestal, but from someone who understands the pressures they face.
- Decision-Making Frameworks That Stick: Students leave with a set of internal tools, not just external rules. My goal is for students to apply what they learn far beyond Red Ribbon Week.
- Optional Workshop Add-On: Want to go deeper? I also offer follow-up breakout sessions where smaller student groups can explore values, habits, and leadership in a safe, guided setting.
