United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. UNODC Youth Initiative

Make the Youth Initiative a reality in your community - Apply for a grant!

Every year UNODC is able to promote drug prevention in many countries all around the world thanks to the work and generosity of the Drug Abuse Prevention Centre (DAPC) in Japan. The youth from DAPC mobilises communities and raises funds that they generously donate to the UNODC to support activities to prevent drug use among youth in low and middle income countries. This is truly from youth, to youth, for youth! Thanks to DAPC, UNODC will be able to sponsor activities of youth groups in low and middle income countries to initiate projects to empower youth to take more active roles in their communities and undertake drug prevention activities in line with the International Standards on Drug Use Prevention, and make the Youth Initiative a reality in their schools, communities, youth centres.
