Municipal Alliance Committee: Initiatives
- Randolph Action Hotline
- 973-989-7007 is a 24-hour anonymous telephone line without Caller ID, focused on prevention. It can be utilized to help prevent an accident or to report illegal use of drugs or alcohol in the community.
- Community RAP
This partnership between MAC, RTPD, West Morris Area YMCA, RHS volunteers and the community provides sports, games and crafts program for 8-14 year old at-risk kids meets weekly during the school year. It features alcohol, tobacco and other drug (ATOD) education and family nights at the YMCA.
- National Night Out
Join our annual event which provides community residents an opportunity to have a free, fun-filled evening and learn the importance of crime and drug prevention awareness. Municipal and county law enforcement agencies participate, with demonstrations and information booths. This event is supported by Morris County Park Commission and Morris County Park Police.
- Homework Club
This is a prevention program that provides a safe, supervised place after school. Elementary and middle school students work on homework assignments, helped by teachers and RHS volunteers.
- Team Harmony
This is a diversity awareness/multi-cultural club that works to show the impact of prejudice and to foster a change in attitudes. Student volunteers bring programs to the elementary schools.
- Project Graduation
This is a supervised, alcohol-free, drug-free, all-night celebration to provide RHS seniors with a safe way to celebrate their graduation.
- P.L.A.I.D. (Peer Leaders Against Involvement with Drugs)
Open to all RMS students that pledge to lead a drug and alcohol free life. PLAID fosters leadership, facilitates Red Ribbon Week and promotes ATOD prevention.
- Red Ribbon Week
This is a week in October dedicated to drug prevention awareness and education for our school children. Activities are organized by guidance counselors in elementary schools, RMS and RHS.
- Search Institute’s 40 Developmental Assets
Morris County and Randolph’s Municipal Alliance are embracing the 40 Developmental Assets approach to strengthen community asset building in our youth. The Search Institute’s research shows that the more assets young people have, the less likely they are to engage in many high risk behaviors. The web site provides tools for parents, teachers, community businesses, civic and social groups to actively engage in becoming asset builders. The Randolph MAC is prepared to come to your organization or group and present several ways you can become part of the community-driven prevention strategy to strengthen the health of our community. To find out more about the 40 Assets or to schedule a presentation for your neighborhood group, business, civic or social group, contact .
- Parents Who Host Lose the Most
This important program is aimed at eliminating underage drinking throughout Randolph. We hope to inform parents of the civil and criminal consequences of hosting parties which allow underage drinking.

MAC provides education and training programs for Randolph’s parents. In the past, the “Parent to Parent” program has been offered and geared toward middle and high school parents while the “Systematic Training for Effective Parenting” (STEP) has been provided for elementary school parents.
In an effort to improve communication between parents and children, MAC sponsors “Dialogue Nights” and “Parent Forums.”
Additionally, MAC funds speakers and presentations for the entire Randolph community which are held at the Randolph Township Library.
Randolph MAC assists in the promotion of county sponsored Municipal Alliance programming that benefits all Morris County families.
