The Nina Ryburn Legacy​

​A Life Rooted in Morgan Hill, CA:

​Nina Ryburn was born January 6 1995. She was raised in Morgan Hill, California—a daughter of our community and a light to                                                                    those who knew her. When we lost Nina on October 13, 2024, the grief was immeasurable, but it sparked a resolve to ensure

no other family's in Santa Clara County would face the same silence and lack of awareness.

​​

The Founding of NINA:

​The National Institute for Narcotics Awareness (NINA) was established  in her name to bridge the gap between tragedy and

 prevention. We realized that the modern narcotics crisis moves faster than traditional education. Nina’s story drives our

 mission to provide Upstream Awareness—reaching families before a crisis begins.

Our Mission in Her Honor:

 

Every workshop we lead and every "Vigilance Kit" we place in a  parent's hands is a tribute to Nina Ryburn. We are dedicated

to empowering the parents of Morgan Hill, San José, and the greater South Bay with the tools, the digital slang guides, and

the science-based education needed to protect our children.                                                                                                                                                                                              Awareness is Prevention."        

                 

 

  This is our promise to our community, in honor of Nina Ryburn..
