High School Workshops

Teen drivers face the highest crash risk of any age group. In fact, traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in the U.S., and most fatal teen crashes involve distractions, speeding, or passengers. High school is the final opportunity to shape safe driving and riding habits before teens gain full independence behind the wheel. What they learn now can save lives—starting with their own.

Our High School Distracted Driving Prevention Workshop is designed to be real, empowering, and engaging. We speak with teens, not at them. Whether they’re just getting their permit, already driving, or riding with friends, they’ll walk away with the tools and mindset to make safer choices.
