The NIDA Toolkit for Out of School Time was designed with the unique needs and goals of out-of-school-time organizations in mind.

The toolkit is packed with science-based activities and lessons, and instructions on how to use them in the out-of-school-time setting. The toolkit includes NIDA’s newest resource, JeoPARODY. A fun way to teach teens the facts about drugs and drug use, JeoPARODY is a science-based, interactive answer-and-question game. Students can play individually or as a group, and the activity can be printed or played for free online.

All of the activities and resources included in the toolkit are designed for educators, parents, youth-serving organizations, and anyone who has the opportunity to educate teens. Each resource can be used separately or combined with other activities. You can customize them to suit your own drug and science education activity needs.
