Sadd's mission is to empower young people to successfully confront the risks and pressures that challenge them in their daily lives. We accomplish this by creating, equipping, and sustaining a network of student-led chapters in school and communities focused on peer-to-peer education.

Indiana sadd is primarily funded by a young driver grant in partnership with the Indiana criminal justice institute traffic safety division.
