WHAT IS MYSADD?
MySADD faq
What is MySADD?
MySADD is a membership platform that allows chapters across the nation to connect via official enrollment in the SADD organization. MySADD gives members access to the latest SADD news, projects, programs, and educational materials.
Why should I register?
MySADD provides all of the resources needed to be a successful SADD chapter. As an official SADD student registered in MySADD, you will receive exclusive communication from the national SADD office with numerous contest, scholarship, and event opportunities. Plus, advisors and school officials can find programming and project guides - all in your MySADD account!
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Nada. Zero. Being a SADD Member is always free, so register today to take advantage of being part of the Nation's premier youth health and safety organization!
I'm in a chapter already, do I have to register for MySADD?
You should! All chapter members should register for their own personal MySADD accounts so they can keep track of their e-learning, earn certificates and awards, apply for contests and scholarships, and earn volunteer hours for the PVSA.
I just moved or graduated, do I have to sign up again?
Nope! Your membership with SADD is for life, wherever you go, even as a college student, alumni, or professional adult; you can always consider SADD your home.
