FentAlert Challenge: Empowering Youth for Safer Choices

Today, SAMHSA issued a challenge to America’s youth: Help us raise awareness about fentanyl and reduce teen overdose deaths.

FentAlert: Empowering Youth for Safer Choices − SAMHSA Fentanyl Awareness Youth Challenge is an opportunity for youth, ages 14-18, to develop a community strategy to educate their peers about fentanyl and fake pills ― and prevent drug overdose deaths.

There’s a total prize purse of $80,000, with individual prizes up to $5,000. Youth can participate individually, or as part of a team.

Please review rules and judging criteria. Submissions are due by February 26, 2024.

Please share this opportunity, supporting young people’s voices ― for a future where they and their peers can thrive!
