Program Updates
MADD is grateful to National Presenting Sponsor Nationwide for their continued support of MADD’s mission. Now in its 10th year, the Power of Parents ® program has empowered parents of middle school and high school students to have ongoing, intentional conversations about the dangers and consequences of underage drinking and other drug use.

Court Monitoring Reports
Every year, MADD releases a National Court Monitoring Report, along with reports from each state activating around the program. The Court Monitoring Program is part of MADD’s “Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving® " , started in 2006, to support law enforcement efforts to protect the public from drunk and drug-impaired driving. The 2021 Court Monitoring report shows a 58% conviction rate for drunk and drug impaired drivers in 2021, down from 63% in 2020. The report reflects observations and data collected by MADD court monitors in 12 states from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021. Volunteers and staff document every step of the judicial process and enter the disposition, age and gender of the offender, outcome
and other information about each case. MADD’s Court Monitoring Program is now active in 14 states across the country, with plans to expand to other states as volunteers and funding become available.
• Alex Otte, MADD National President “We remain grateful to Nationwide for their long-standing commitment to MADD’s mission. This program truly would not have been possible without their support.”
Power of Youth ®
Based on feedback from teens, MADD revamped the Power of You(th)® resources including a new “Power to Take a Stand” presentation, Teen Booklet, and website. The modernized resources are easy to use and designed to be more engaging with teens. MADD is extremely grateful to Amica Insurance for being the National Presenting Sponsor of Power of You(th).
Victim Services
In honor of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week in April, MADD created a national PSA centered around this year’s theme “My Name is”. MADD’s goal is to use this as an opportunity to reconnect with victims we have served in the past and to raise awareness of MADD’s Victim Services for those with whom haven’t yet connected.
