History of MAAP

The Minnesota Association of Alternative Programs (MAAP) was organized by a small group of educators in alternative education in the early 1980’s. Currently there are over 800 members from over 300 ALC’s & Alternative programs in Minnesota, surrounding states and Canada.

The purpose of the organization is to meet the needs of students, parents, teachers, administrators and the general public through a professional organization dedicated to the improvement of alternative education and program options.
