POWER OF YOUTH® informs high school students of the science behind the legal drinking age of 21 and safe driving practices. This interactive program presented in classroom or assembly settings is effective in generating discussions about the consequences of poor choices and working to prevent underage drinking.
POWER OF PARENTS® educates parents about their influence on their teens and equips them with the conversational tools necessary to talk about alcohol.
MADD’s CAMPAIGN TO ELIMINATE DRUNK DRIVING® focuses on four philosophies:
Support for Law Enforcement with fair and just high-visibility enforcement efforts to catch drunk drivers and discourage others from driving drunk. Ignition Interlocks for All Offenders: MADD supports requirements for ignition interlock devices for all drunk drivers.
Support for Advanced Technology: MADD supports the development of advanced, passive in-vehicle technology to determine automatically whether the driver is impaired and prevent the driver from operating the vehicle. Public Support: MADD engages the public to advocate and fight for the elimination of impaired driving. It’s everyone’s responsibility.
MADD’s Tie One On For Safety® campaign calls for motorists to display a red ribbon on their vehicles in support of law enforcement efforts and as a reminder to plan ahead and designate a non-drinking driver.
