Sponsors?

Wait 21 is supported through the help of its sponsors. Crave 21 and Rise Together are two sponsors who have put up Wait 21 scholarships this year for students who are educating their communities on the science of addiction. Read along to learn more about these great organizations.

Crave 21 is a youth program for elementary school students, educating them on the ‘Science of Craving’, aka ‘addiction.’ Students give up their BIGGEST craving for 21 days and replace it with a HEALTHIER habit. Along their 21 day health challenge, students fill out a notebook where they record their learning experience from insightful videos and articles. The Crave 21 Challenge is also available for anyone else interested in learning a new habit and raising awareness around addiction.

Rise Together encourages students to stand up and speak out on the issues they care most about; breaking the silence around suicide, bullying, mental illness, drugs & alcohol. Rise Together accomplishes this through presenting resources like Wait 21 and Crave 21 to students around the US.
