Are you interested in becoming a Certified Johnny's Ambassadors Trainer? We are recruiting a grassroots army who will educate their communities about the dangers of youth marijuana use.

** If you are a middle school or high school classroom teacher (health, PE, prevention), a staff member at a Drug-Free Community (DFC) coalition, or a School Resource Officer (SRO), teaching students in a classroom, these materials are free for you to use. Just select "volunteer" when registering. **

Watch this video for a complete explanation and slides about the Certified Johnny's Ambassadors Trainer program!

Who is an ambassador? An ambassador is “a person who acts as a representative or promoter of a specified activity.” So, Johnny’s Ambassadors are the people and organizations who are working to share Johnny’s warning that “Marijuana ruined my mind and my life” with other teens, their parents, and communities to save them from harm.

By registering for this certification, you will receive a license to teach a one-hour seminar, “The Dangerous Truth About Today’s Marijuana: The Harms of Youth Marijuana Use,” to adults/parents or teens/students (or both). As a Certified Johnny’s Ambassadors Trainer, you will present this science-based curriculum in schools, libraries, police stations, restaurants, community centers, coalitions (or just about anywhere you can get someone to give you a free space!), or virtually.

Once registered, you will receive the train-the-trainer materials (3 hours total). You can be matched with an educational consultant to practice with if you wish. You can present it to your family, friends, or neighbors to practice on a small group as well. Our certified trainers will meet quarterly to share ideas, successes, and questions, and the curriculum will be updated quarterly. We will constantly revise and update the curriculum based on your feedback.
