MADD's nationally touring school assembly shows use three large screens and the latest in DVD technology to communicate age-appropriate messages for thousands of students each year. The shows include relevant music and blockbuster movie clips woven throughout the film to enhance messaging. MADD offers a multimedia presentation for all age groups from elementary to high school. The Multimedia Class Pack is the classroom extension of a nationally touring assembly show produced by MADD. The Class Pack is designed to give classroom audiences an opportunity to preview byte-sized segments of real life issues teens face everyday. When a school purchases this exciting new program they will add a dynamic and educational resource to their campus library for use year-round. This program is specifically designed for smaller audiences and is a wonderful compliment to the full length 3-screen assembly show.

Youth In Action is a community-based program that organizes teams of high school students to work with local MADD offices and other community groups in a unique partnership to reduce retail and social availability of alcohol to minors. Youth focus their attention on local policies and ordinances, enforcement, and the use of the media as a tool for achieving social change. Teams work to change the environment that condones underage drinking as a "rite of passage.
