Why it matters 

A driver’s test measures rules, but it doesn’t prepare teens for real-world risks. The first year after licensing is the most dangerous, with teens facing distractions, peer pressure, and high-risk situations they’ve never encountered. Education ensures that young drivers don’t just pass a test—they gain the skills, awareness, and confidence to make safe decisions every time they drive.

How it works

Our education efforts provide:

• Defensive Driving Training – Practical strategies for handling emergencies and avoiding collisions.

• Risk Awareness – Teaching teens how distractions, emotions, and peer influence impact driving.

• Confidence-Building – Equipping new drivers with experience, mentorship, and support.

• Parent Engagement – Tools and check-ins to keep parents actively involved in the learning process.

Our Programs in Action

• First Year Focus – Mentorship, monthly challenges, and parent-teen check-ins during the highest-risk year after licensing.

• Post-License Safety Challenges – Interactive activities that encourage teens to practice safe driving habits beyond the classroom.

• Parent Partnerships – Family contracts, check-ins, and guides that strengthen communication between parents and new drivers.

• Driving School & Educator Partnerships – Collaborating with schools and safety organizations to integrate advanced training into programs.

Why It Works

​

• Addresses the Riskiest Period: The first year after licensing is when most teen crashes occur—ongoing support makes the difference.

• Blends Knowledge with Practice: Teens don’t just learn rules; they apply skills through challenges, mentorship, and reflection.

• Engages Parents as Partners: Check-ins and contracts ensure accountability beyond the classroom.

• Creates Safer Lifelong Habits: By emphasizing defensive driving and risk awareness early, teens carry safe practices into adulthood.
