Community Education

Our educational resources and programs promote awareness and prevent gambling problems within the community.

Inspire Responsible Gambling

College Students ages 18–25, actively enrolled in Bryant University, Community College of Rhode Island, Johnson and Wales, Rhode Island College, Providence College, and the University of Rhode Island are invited to participate in a creative contest. Submit innovative works—such as writing or artwork—focused on responsible gaming and gambling harm prevention for a chance to win the 2025 Nancy Murray Award for a $3000 tuition scholarship. This contest aims to amplify young voices in raising awareness and reducing the stigma surrounding gambling harm.
