C.A.R.E.S. Club
Children Advocate for Road Education & Safety
C.A.R.E.S.’ mission is to establish and assist teen-managed advocacy programs in high schools throughout Tennessee that focuses on traffic safety education, unsafe driving practices and emphasizes on preventive ways to decrease crashes, injuries, and fatalities amongst teen drivers. Through C.A.R.E.S. students work together, in C.A.R.E.S. Club, or other school-based clubs/organizations, in a peer-to-peer learning environment, in order to advocate for road education and safety amongst each other. Club members develop different ideas, strategies, and projects that address specific issues for young drivers in their schools and communities. Students will undergo key leadership training to better equip them to become life-long traffic safety advocates and future successors in the Tennessee workforce.

Coins 4 Change
The program is designed to help educate children about giving back. The program shows that the simple act of collecting change can have a large impact on the battle against childhood fatalities and safety on our highways. By teaching children that they can make a difference in the lives of other children and themselves, we empower them to recognize the power of one. Students compete against their peers and other schools to win prizes while engaging in learning activities surrounding financial responsibility and road safety; and don’t worry teachers… there’s prizes in it for you too!

COLLIERVILLE COURT PROGRAM
“The seed that was planted by CLIF truly made me feel that I could change the world by simply not picking up my phone when I drive. Who knew traffic safety was so important? I will always remember that no text, call, or post is worth it.”
