About Me

DANCESAFE.ORG
DanceSafe is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization using harm reduction and peer education to prevent drug-related risks among youths in the dance and party scene. We were founded in Oakland, CA in early 1999 as a grassroots service to ravers and ecstasy users. Since then, we have provided outreach at raves, nightclubs, festivals, concerts, conferences, schools, and communities all across the United States.
Also, please check out our website's discussion board where you can read posts from our members and supporters on all issues from drug use to politics. Register an account today and join in on the conversation!!!

Anyone who supports our cause. As for volunteering, we appreciate all of you out there offering to help, but at the present moment, we do not have the funds or resources to accept new chapters. Please check back at a later date or contact the Myspace pages of your local area (if there is one).
