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 organize community fairs and produce public service announcements. Students design advertising and stage mock crashes. They write music and poetry.
- 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.
