About MADD…
Since our beginning in 1980, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) has been working to make our roads and communities safer by preventing motorists from drinking and driving. And our efforts have made a difference. Alcohol related traffic deaths have declined by more than 40% since 1980, saving more than 250,000 lives. Over 19,000 lives have been saved by the 21-minimum drinking age law alone.
As you can see, we have done much. But there is much more to be done. And we can't do it alone. We need more people like you.
MADD is more than just moms. We're dads and daughters, sons and uncles, friends and neighbors of all ages and from all walks of life. We are committed to our mission to stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime, and prevent underage drinking.
Empowering Youth…
| MADD's youth programs empower young people to make a difference in their communities. We offer free Youth in Action training to youth to work locally to change attitudes that underage drinking is a "rite of passage" and to reduce youth's access to alcohol. |
 |
MADD also can provide speakers for presentations to elementary, middle and high schools and colleges; professional associations; state agencies; coalitions; law enforcement; and other adult agencies to prevent underage drinking. With advanced notice, a presentation can be scheduled with one of our trained youth groups, staff members, or aS qualified victim advocate speaker who is willing to tell their story as a victim of drunk driving.
MADD's New Power of Parents: It's Your Influence…
MADD has created a powerful new web resource where parents can find research proven strategies for preventing underage drinking at their home and in their community.

The KY Mothers Against Drunk Driving State Office is a valuable tool to communities and schools in the prevention of underage drinking. MADD offers presentations for youth, enforcement officers and community leaders, parents, educators, and community agencies by Drunk Driving Victims, Youth in Action Students, and the State Youth Program Coordinator.

Who can we help?
- We help serve anyone who has been affected by an impaired driver. An impaired driver can be classified as someone who drives under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or both. We provide services to people of all ages no matter their race, socioeconomic status, gender, or religious philosophy who have been injured or lost a loved one in a crash. We serve family members, friends and communities that have been affected by an impaired driving crash.
