Teens who take driver's ed are safer drivers, and that's a fact. But for many families, the cost of driver's ed is out of reach.
Wisconsin stopped reimbursing schools for driver’s education in the early 2000s. Since then, thousands of young adults have been licensed WITHOUT learning the fundamentals of responsible, safe driving. So, TMJ4 and the Greater Milwaukee Urban League are teaming up to "Adopt A Driver".
The “Adopt a Driver” program (part of Project: Drive Safer) will provide scholarships for low-income families to pay for a full course of driver’s education for their teen. Each scholarship will fund 30 hours of classroom instruction as well as 12 hours behind the wheel through the Urban League’s Driver’s Ed program.
Now through Oct. 13th you can help reverse the reckless driving crisis...and create a safer generation on the roads. Donate below:
This campaign is a TMJ4 initiative in collaboration with the Scripps Howard Fund,
a 501(c)(3) organization. Contributions to this campaign will be used to support the local Milwaukee area and are tax deductible.
