Motor vehicle crashes are the #1 cause of death
for people between the ages of 16 and 24 in the U.S.

Our award-winning Alive at 25 program stresses to young drivers the enormous responsibility that drivers have, the importance of making good choices, and the possible consequences of poor decisions. By making teen drivers aware of risk-taking behaviors, the Alive at 25 program helps them to make safe choices.

Alive at 25 For Parents
Letting your teenager drive gives your child the control of a deadly weapon. This program helps parents understand the risks that young drivers face and how they as parents can minimize those risks. It offers a clear action plan that includes supervised driving practice, restrictions, and a parent/teen agreement. We would be glad to bring this program to your child's school. For more information, please contact Tommy Roberson at 901-678-3727 or troberso@memphis.edu.

During the 2009-10 academic year, we will teach the Alive at 25 curriculum to all 9th graders at the following schools:

· Arlington High School · Bartlett · Bolton · CBHS · Collierville · Fayette Academy · Germantown · Houston · Lausanne · MUS · Rossville Christian Academy  · St. Agnes · St. Benedict · St. Mary's · Tipton-Rosemark
