The Courage to Speak Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in Norwalk, CT, whose mission is "to save lives by empowering youth to be drug free and encouraging parents to communicate effectively with their children about the dangers of drugs" through its drug prevention education curricula and programs for children, teens, parents, schools and communities. The organization was founded in 1996 by Ginger and Larry Katz, and is devoted to fulfilling a promise Ginger made to her son Ian, who died when he was just 20 years old of an accidental drug overdose - to do everything in her power to prevent this tragedy from happening to another family. The heart of the work is the nationally renowned Courage to Speak Presentation, which empowers students, parents, educators and others to break the silence surrounding drug use and find healthy solutions in their schools and communities. This real life story with its prevention message has been heard by hundreds of thousands of people in over 1,000 presentations delivered in schools, communities and state and national conferences across the country. The Courage to Speak Foundation is looking for someone who can spend time working with social media in order to market the Courage to Speak and Sunny's Story on various Social Media platforms. - Social Media knowledge Required but not limited to
