MAPP Mission Statement
The Midwest AIDS Prevention Project (MAPP) is dedicated to providing high-quality, innovative, and evidence-based health education, harm reduction and disease prevention programming; and is committed to promoting tolerance and understanding, healthy lifestyles, and health services for all people in the region, including persons living with HIV/AIDS.
Working closely with the Michigan Department of Community Health,
city and county health departments, community-based organizations
and health care professionals, MAPP has developed innovative and
effective behavior-based workshops, outreach projects and education
programs for a wide variety of targeted populations and locations.
Our mission is carried out by a diverse group of individuals who have
worked as staff and volunteers with local, state, and national AIDS
organizations for 16 years.
Each year, MAPP provides more than 700 safer sex workshops, presentations,
trainings, media events, display tables, outreach events, and speaking
engagements throughout the state. Audiences targeted have included
teens, college students, gays and lesbians, women, people of color,
health care workers, church groups, HIV outreach workers, Latino,
Asian, and Arabic communities, and others. Since its incorporation
in 1988, MAPP has distributed over two million AIDS education materials
and condoms, reaching more than 500,000 people. |
