What we do?
MAD DADS, Inc. was founded in May 1989 by a group of concerned
Omaha Nebraska African-American men and parents who were fed up with gang
violence and the unmolested flow of illegal drugs in their community.
These men understood that they could not hold any one responsible for this
but themselves, because they had allowed this to happen.
They presented themselves as positive role models and concerned loving
parents who were a visible presence in communities against the negative
forces destroying children, families and neighborhoods.
MAD DADS started out of pain, the pain of children dying in the streets of
their own communities. They were, and still are, tired of looking into the
hollow eyes of youth who lack hope, and who have ceased to dream.
