Yes — K.O.D. can return to your school.

We use interactive presentations that are intentionally designed for one-time engagement per group. Each session includes a pre-survey and post-survey, helping us assess impact and keep the experience fresh for students.

Yes — while K.O.D. offers three different activities, the interactive presentation is tailored to engage students based on age and development level, ensuring content is appropriate and impactful.

It’s completely free!

Every student leaves with a swag bag that includes items like a t-shirt, hand sanitizer, journals and water bottles, as well as harm reduction, overdose prevention, and mental health resources.

Students also have the chance to win special items during the event.

K.O.D. uses Hip-Hop culture, art, and high-energy interactive sessions to empower youth with knowledge and skills that support healthy decision-making.

Program objectives include:

• Understanding the effects of drugs on physical and mental health

• Recognizing risky behaviors and peer pressure

• Strengthening communication and refusal skills

The full event requires approximately 4 hours:

• 1 hour for setup

• 2 hours of programming

• 45 minutes for breakdown

K.O.D. events are in high demand! To ensure availability, we recommend scheduling at least six weeks in advance.

To run smoothly, we need:

• Strong communication

• Staff support

• A few materials (tables, chairs, water, projector, etc.)

• A space that allows for group interaction

• Access to wifi network

Each K.O.D. event is designed for a maximum of 160 students.

We need a space that fits all students comfortably and allows for staff movement. Cafeterias and gyms are great options — just add chairs, tables, and make sure Wi-Fi is available.

Schools are our main focus, but we also serve other youth groups, such as summer camps or after-school programs. If your group includes youth within a similar age range, we’d love to hear more and see if we can accommodate you.
