A handful of the ISDs we've presented at or partnered with.
When it comes to raising awareness on the risks of fake pills and fentanyl, some of the most powerful messages come from those whose lives and families have been impacted most.

We provide ISDs and Schools resources to make our educational assemblies as simple and effective as possible.
The Tucker Project curriculum conforms to state health education standards allowing for ease of integration into lesson plans and ensuring that relevant learning objectives and criteria for effective education are met.
Students will be equipped to prevent harm and promote awareness in the face of the fentanyl crisis.
The Tucker Project is an initiative established by Texas Against Fentanyl to produce and provide a fentanyl education curriculum, for use both within the state of Texas and across the nation. Texas Against Fentanyl (TXAF.org) is actively engaged in getting that fentanyl curriculum made, in partnership with a leading national curriculum publisher.
House Bill 3908, also known as Tucker’s Law, is a law passed during the 88th legislative session, which mandates education on drug poisoning awareness and fentanyl abuse prevention in public schools across Texas. Tucker’s Law also required the State Governor to designate a “Fentanyl Poisoning Awareness Week” in Texas, the first of which was held October 15 through October 21, 2023.
Tucker’s Law passed the House of Representatives on May 9, 2023. Governor Greg Abbott signed the Bill into law on June 14, 2023.
No, other states can and have already adopted the Tucker Project, and we strongly encourage more to do the same. Texas Against Fentanyl and the Tucker Project can assist State Representatives and others in doing so.
Tucker’s Law and the Tucker Project are named in honor of Tucker Charles Roe (Mar. 11 2002 – Sep. 23, 2021), the son of TXAF.org Founder Stefanie Turner.
Texas Against Fentanyl has held dozens of educational assemblies in schools across the state. Students hear from those who've lived and learned the lessons they're teaching. Informative, educational, and engaging, our parent and expert panelists present what students need to know most, and in ways that are action-, not fear-based.
Our student assemblies are school-specific, tailored to best meet the needs of the youth we’ll be speaking to. Each covers the key facts on fentanyl, fake pills, and naloxone (as an opioid antagonist for use in cases of overdose or suspected overdose.) Presentations most often include an “Angel Parent,” someone who has lost a loved one to fentanyl, as well as a local medical or public safety expert (law enforcement, addition recovery specialists.) Presentations are two-way engagements, with plenty of student Q&As and engaging exercises.
Texas Against Fentanyl provides a full suite of social media and other content: Fliers you can use to announce the assembly, social posts you can share to flank the awareness event, and in-depth written information for parents and students who want to know more.
Schools such as yours have perfectly valid questions on the accuracy of anything taught or shared on campus, and we second those concerns. As such, our presentation content has been side-checked by industry experts (and often produced in tandem with them). It also includes citations to well-established official governmental and national health organizations, such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, and Johns Hopkins. Some of the official publications on which we’ve based our presentations and assemblies can be found here, under “Fact Sheets; What You Need to Know About Fentanyl.“
Texas Against Fentanyl will work with school administration to establish the best time, date, and venue for an awareness presentation of this type. For most, any school day works well, and presentations can be done in any on campus venue that accommodates the number of students, and has audio-visual equipment (a large TV, or a projection screen.)

The TXAF Ambassador Program empowers students to influence others with a positive impact, hopefully saving peers from pills that kill. While most youth know that some drugs can kill or greatly harm them, there is unfortunately a large lack of awareness on fake pills as a source of fentanyl. That's what TXAF Ambassadors tackle in their own unique, creative, and lasting ways.
TXAF.ORG’s Youth Ambassador program is a voluntary calling initiated by students in Leander, Texas. Open to anyone committed to raising awareness on the dangers of fake pills and fentanyl, the program spread widely across Texas.
We strongly encourage anyone and everyone to raise awareness on the dangers of fake pills and fentanyl. Our Ambassador program, we’ve found, is best suited for those who are committed beyond the norm. It’s a unique creative outlet and social cause our schools and youth often desperately need.
TXAF Ambassadors are welcome to do almost anything that raises awareness on the dangers of fake pills and fentanyl. TXAF provides guidelines and edges to the program, but strongly encourages creativity. Youth are influential among youth, so we want their (or your) uniquely creative ideas and outreach.
