Become a Team builder
A TEAM representative endorses the DON’T TRY DON’T DIE initiatives, through promoting videos, text, testimonies, photos, and any other goods and services which are created to promote drug use prevention initiatives.
TEAM representatives are volunteers who create, manage, and sustain organizational outreaches in their communities by spreading awareness. They may choose to become a monthly partner with the DON’T TRY DON’T DIE Drug Use Prevention, Inc. but, it is not a requirement.
A TEAM representative is creative in finding sponsors to support our drug use prevention initiatives and may assist in event planning. We would like to encourage our TEAM representatives through monetization which is commissioned by monthly partnerships.
TEAM representatives will work to find new support leads, create local fundraisers, and raise awareness by sharing testimonies on public platforms.
