BPO Elks of the USA
Drug Awareness Program

Since its inception in 1983, the Louisiana Elks Drug Awareness Program has worked to prevent drug use by our youth through education. The Louisiana Elks Association recognize that they are not experts in the field of drug education. However, we do have the resources – in dollars, facilities and volunteers – to work with the experts to ensure that young people know the facts about drugs.

In addition to sponsoring seminars, workshops and drug-free functions, we print and distribute literature developed by authorities on drug awareness. Since 1983, we've printed and handed thousands of pieces of literature to students, their teachers and their parents.
