Get Informed. Get Inspired. Get Involved.
In the simplest of terms, Project Ignition is a grant program that utilizes service-learning to address teen driver safety issues through student-led campaigns. — but the ripple effect the program creates is anything but simple.
Student teams find their inspiration close to home — sometimes from personal tragedy — but their powerful messages reach across towns, counties, and state lines. Students find amazing and creative ways to bring their messages to life:
- They engage peers and other community members to consider the role they play in teen driver safety issues through school physics projects, interactive demonstrations in school lunch rooms and at community fairs, writing music and poetry and producing public service announcements.
- They meet with city councils and local legislators to encourage stronger public policy surrounding teen driver safety.
- They build Web sites and memory walls. Students galvanize schools and families —even entire communities — around their efforts to keep teen drivers and passengers safe.
