 Masonic Model Student Assistance Program (MMSAP) |
|
In these times, it’s easy for kids to get lost. When a child is in pain, it’s easy to turn to drugs, alcohol, depression, or gangs as a way to ease the pain. And when that happens, everyone loses—kids, families, schools, and the community.
Because Masons care about kids, we offer a free workshop for South Dakota educators, administrators, and support staff in schools from kindergarten through high school. Called the Masonic Model Student Assistance Program (MMSAP), this three-day workshop teaches participants how to identify kids at risk and help them on the road to a successful life. [More...] |
