Would you like to STAND with us?

Students Taking Action Not Drugs (STAND) was founded in 1999 by university students worldwide concerned about the spread of drug abuse on college campuses. STAND's mission is to use science based principles in educating college students about the dangers of drugs.

STAND delivers on its mission by recruiting students from campuses to disseminate anti-drug information to their peers by using an integrated online and offline approach consisting of an official, moderated Web site (www.studentstakingaction.org) and hardcopy marketing materials that are distributed on campus.

The purpose of STAND is to recruit students on campuses to deliver these anti-drug messages and in turn change attitudes and behaviors. A group of marketing and prevention specialists developed the program and assists members with strategy and implementation.

Officials of STAND and its parent organization, Drug Free America Foundation, visit campuses to educate peer leaders about STAND and encourage them to take an active role in disseminating this life-changing information. The anti-drug message of STAND is flexible so that a campus can choose to focus on one or more particular drugs affecting that particular college community. STAND also provides scholarship and travel opportunities for peer leaders who are especially motivated and inspired by our mission.
