Who are the members of !MPACT?
!MPACT is a non-profit organization founded by the parents of three teens killed in separate car crashes within an 11-day period and 25-mile radius of one another in December of 2002.
We donate our time and resources to promote teen driving safety. We have developed a very effective teen driving safety program that we offer to high schools at no charge. The message is too important.
Members of !MPACT have either lost teenage family members or friends in motor vehicle crashes, or are survivors of crashes involving teen drivers. Members volunteer their personal time and resources to advance the mission of the organization.
What does !MPACT do?
!MPACT has developed a teen driving safety program in which members share their personal experiences in a powerful presentation that has proven success in promoting safe driving and riding behavior in teens. Teens learn about the shocking statistics, risk factors, what happens to the body in a crash, what the states are doing to protect them and what they can do to protect themselves and their friends. Feedback from attendees indicates that this program effectively reduces risky driving/riding behavior in teens.!MPACT has also developed a program for parents, educators and law enforcement officials; and has worked closely with state and federal agencies and legislators to advance legislation that protects teen drivers, their passengers and the people who share the roads with them.
Would you like !MPACT to present at your school or organization?

"This was an amazing, powerful presentation that should be shown to as many people as possible. The statistics got me to think."
