School Sponsorship
Program
For young
adults, life on the streets for beginning drivers can be quite
frightening and very intimidating at times. Many teenagers find
themselves literally at a fork in the road. The question is either to
drive responsible or to drive carefree with the intents of impressing
their peers. It all comes to down to using “Good Judgment.”
The public school system does an excellent job in educating our children
on everyday “Life Management Skills” and teaching our young adults about
modern-day, safe driving techniques in driver education classes. These
are critical first steps towards molding our students into safe and
responsible drivers. However, today’s competitive students are facing
greater challenges in the everyday popularity contest. These types of
issues and peer pressure are chronic problems that can steer teenagers
into making poor choices. As educators and community leaders, we
constantly ask ourselves, “Are we doing enough?”
That’s where S.A.F.E. comes in. Our coalition of local
firefighter/paramedics is dedicated to educating students about the
dangers and consequences of poor driving practices. S.A.F.E. supports and
reinforces our public educators in a unique way. Our powerful message
clearly demonstrates to students that trauma can happen to anyone at
anytime. We show them that no one is immune from these grim statistics,
especially their age group.
This isn’t just a public education problem; it is a community problem
that occurs nation-wide. The school system and S.A.F.E. cannot handle
this problem alone. It is going to take the support of strong community
leaders and local businesses to be an active
participant. This can be done through S.A.F.E.’s “School Sponsorship
Program.”
The School Sponsorship Program is a way for local business leaders to
adopt a school. By sponsoring a school, your business or organization can
provide your local high school or college with as little as one day worth
of S.A.F.E. workshops or up to an entire year. Student populations in our
local high schools are reaching as high as 5,000 or more. S.A.F.E.
workshops are in such great demand now that we cannot keep up without
your help.
