WHAT IS OPERATION MAKING A DIFFERENCE?
Operation Making A Difference, Inc. (OPMAD) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization developed to offer solutions, resolve conflicts, and eliminate obstacles that hinder youth from becoming productive and succesful citizens. We offer a 90-day program for youth and their families, which is inclusive of enrichment programs and activities, field trips and motivational, esteem building activities.
Youth between the ages of 10 and 18 are afforded the opportunity to receive guidance and assistance in tutoring, substances abuse, peer pressure, criminal behavior, family conflict resolution, and employment placement. This program is geared to impact at-risk youth and their families. Operation MAD seeks to assist youth from all walks of society, including those who may have learning difficulties, behavioral problems, and issues surrounding the environment in which they may reside.
OPMAD believes that our community depends on the strength of our youth. Together, with the help and involvement of their families and the community, we can guide them in the right direction.
