Project Ignition
Category: Children, Youth & Families
DescriptionSponsored by State Farm Insurance and coordinated by the National Youth Leadership Council, the Project is a grant program that uses service-learning to address safety issues surrounding teen drivers. Students in grades 9-12 and their teachers or advisors are challenged to work together to develop a campaign to address the issue of teen driver safety in their community. Schools whose campaigns are judged to be among the top 10 in the nation receive $5,000 to help cover expenses to come to The National Service-Learning Conference. One campaign will be named Best of the Best and the team will receive a $10,000 grant to continue its teen driver safety efforts. Grants will be awarded to a maximum of 25 selected programs. The grantee’s school will receive $2,000 to implement their program during fall 2009. Applications and additional information are available on the Web site.
