DriveStrong is a non-profit organization with a vital mission.

Thousands of teenagers lose their lives each year across the country in traffic collisions. This staggering number of fatalities can be reduced. Car crashes are the #1 killer of teens in the United States and the leading cause of crashes is inexperience.

The three most common driver errors accounting for about half of crashes are:

• Lack of scanning the roadway (that includes checking mirrors)

• Driving too fast for conditions (not just rain or snowy days - sunny days, too)

• Distraction by something inside or outside the vehicle (cellphones, loud music, and too many friends piling in)

DriveStrong provides a fun learning experience designed to address a serious problem. Unlike traditional driving courses, we equip teen drivers with the skills they need to navigate dangerous driving conditions BEFORE the unexpected happens.

• Individual Scholarships for students who are from low income backgrounds

• Communication initiatives pushed directly into high schools
