Texas Lions District 2-E2 Drug Awareness Council Empowering Youth Through Education and Awareness

Drug Awareness Council (DAC) educates youth and adults about the dangers of drug abuse and chemical dependency. Since 1987, DAC has worked within Lions District 2-E2, partnering with local Lions Clubs, schools, and community organizations to implement educational programs and spread awareness. Through hands-on initiatives, DAC empowers individuals to make informed, healthy choices and take a stand against substance abuse.

DAC leads impactful events like Red Ribbon Week, the Youth Poster Contest, and the Drug Awareness Speech Contest. These programs encourage education and engagement while rewarding outstanding participants with scholarships. The organization funds its efforts through Lions Club contributions, lifetime memberships, and individual donations. DAC also provides matching grants to Lions Clubs that collaborate with schools to promote drug awareness.

The council meets regularly to plan events, secure funding, and expand outreach efforts. By actively engaging with the community, DAC strengthens its mission to prevent substance abuse and create a drug-free future. Every initiative reflects its commitment to equipping young people with the knowledge and support they need to make positive life choices.
