About Amped4Life
Amped4life was registered as a Charitable Trust in September 2002 . Amped was formed to be a proactive part in our communities fight against drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. It is here to help our young people to make informed and wise choices for life.
Amped4Life continues to reach out to High Schools and community groups throughout the country. For more than 19 years, Amped4Life has supported Schools, Industry and Community to deal with substance use and addiction problems. Programs for children and youth are an essential component of our addictions services. Amped4Life works in collaboration with schools to deliver specialized services that reflect the needs of the community and the experience of children and youth. Together, New Zealand schools and Amped4Life can help students discover and extend their own capabilities, as well as develop supportive relationships and healthy environments.
Amped4Life Substance use prevention presentations in the classroom are intended to provide teachers with a framework to build on and reinforce the importance of good choices in relation to drug and alcohol use and abuse.
Amped4Life desires to sow life, build resilience and create a healthy sense of self esteem with our rangatahi (youth) and challenge them to aspire for greatness in all aspects of life. Amped4Life delivers a message that realistically and graphically communicates the risks of Drug & Alcohol Use and abuse.
