Minnesota Alliance of Recovery Community Organizations

Building a Recovery-Oriented Future

Founded by leaders of Minnesota’s grassroots Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs), MARCO is a statewide nonprofit organization working to build an ecosystem of recovery. We believe that long-term system change starts in our communities and that RCOs are essential partners in building a recovery-oriented society. 

Our mission is to educate, advocate, and mobilize resources to grow the community-based recovery movement across Minnesota.

We do this through: 

Mentorship and Professional Development: Through collaboration with its members and partners, MARCO mentors and supports emerging, new and established organizations to promote the growth, sustainability, and fidelity of RCOs throughout Minnesota. 

Public Education: Through public events and educational programs, MARCO raises awareness about substance use disorders and substance use issues and promotes a recovery-oriented system of care.

Advocacy: MARCO educates policymakers on substance use and recovery issues and promotes the fidelity of the community-based RCO model across the continuum of care. MARCO represents the interests of RCOs by participating in state policy discussions, advisory boards, commissions, and other forums.
