MAPP is a collaborative effort of The Council on Alcohol and Drugs, host agencies in seven counties of North Georgia, Family Connection, National Families in Action (NFIA), and EMSTAR Research (the evaluator).
Programs Used are Exemplary, Model, and Promising Programs.
MAPP utilizes Club HERO, an overall after-school program designed to help middle schoolers develop assets they need to keep them from entering the drug culture. Academic enrichment, tutoring, and community service projects are included in programming activities.
