Established in 1975, MAAP, Inc. (formerly the Mexican American Alcoholism Program) is one of the largest, multi-ethnic, client-based non-profit organizations in Northern California.  MAAP was founded as a Latino organization and continues to provide extensive services  (available in Spanish and English) to the Latino community.  

One of MAAP's strongest assets is its ability to provide services in a culturally appropriate way to the Latino community.  Serving the community from various sites and venues, MAAP is fortunate to have a multicultural staff that represents the various ethnicities found in the Sacramento community.  Our goal is to effectively address community social problems such as alcohol and chemical dependency, education, housing, HIV/AIDS, and the lack of affordable, quality health care.

MAAP provides direct services to over 3,000 people per month, including babies, adolescents, young adults, adults, and seniors.  Through our extensive outreach and education efforts, such as Binational Health Week which is a partnership with the Consulate of Mexico, we carry out over 50,000 encounters annually.

MAAP partnerships in the community include the Sacramento City Unified, Grant Joint Union and Elk Grove School Districts; The Gardens; Harm Reduction Services; CARES; CDCW; The Effort, The Gifted Healing Center; Breaking Barriers; Sacramento Black Alcoholism Program; County and City of Sacramento;  The Salvation Army; Mercy; Kaiser Permanente; Sutter Health; U.C. Davis Health System; Sacramento Community Clinic Consortium; C.S.U. Sacramento and many others.
