Make a Difference for Red Ribbon Week 2026
Healthy student choices are not developed overnight.
Like a great sports team, they are built through repetition, discipline, and strong work habits!
And learning to navigate failure and disappointment while developing strong values and hanging out with a positive group of peers.
This year’s Red Ribbon Week Slogan – “Make a Difference”, is all about equipping students to be drug and alcohol free and accountable to their friends and family !
This fall, we’ve created engaging life-changing resources that impact students, parents:
- Powerful role model stories and a 5 day simple lesson plan
( Sports, Education, Military, Entertainment) - Classroom discussion guides
- Student Interactive follow up resources (online)

SOYF RRW Program is all about educating, encouraging, and challenging your students
to be proactive in their approach regarding drugs and alcohol. And most importanatly offering them the opportunity to choose a drug and alcohol lifestyle.
Equipping students to succeed,
