Project Ignition = energy for change.
You name it and Project Ignition teams find the inspiration, creativity, and community support to get it done. It’s an inspired equation.
In the simplest of terms, Project Ignition is a service-learning grant program focused on teen driver safety — but the ripple effect the program creates is anything but simple.
Student campaign 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 their own roles in teen driver safety issues through school physics projects, interactive demonstrations at school lunch rooms and community fairs, writing music and poetry, 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.
