¶ Welcome to the backbone of our mission!

As you understand MAD's vision and mission, the only way to deliver high-touch support (in a cost-effective manner) is by mobilising young leaders to catalyse community members to be active citizens. Hence, we developed the Community Organising model to empower any young person to bring together a team required to deliver this impact. We ensure chapters can operate effectively and independently while aligning with MAD's broader goals by providing them with the necessary tools and guidance.
¶ 🌍 What is a MAD Chapter?
MAD Chapters are dynamic teams dedicated to MAD's vision.
- Each chapter is a powerhouse of 200 committed volunteers and children/youth.
- Each chapter functions as a self-organizing, self-sustaining, and regenerative unit.
- All local chapter teams are empowered to be self-sufficient.
- Chapter teams drive change and innovation on the ground in their communities.
¶ 🎯 Three Major Goals

¶ The Team that makes it happen!
Each MAD chapter team has various roles that ensure the chapter's goals are met. The team consists of:
- Community Organizer (COs): The flywheel who mentors the chapter team in operations, community engagement, and resource management.
- Chapter Organiser (CHO): The leader who oversees all chapter operations, ensuring that goals are met and activities align with our broader mission.
- Chapter Fellows: The leader to our volunteers, providing guidance and support while ensuring the delivery of high-quality interventions.
- Volunteers: The mentors to the children and youth, providing guidance and support
- Children & Youth: The one who receives the impact of this program.
