Auto Safety is a very important subject, especially for the well-being of children and teens while traveling. Each year many of our youth are killed or injured in automobile related accidents. It is our goal to educate youth and parents on safety tips to help ensure a safer commute.

Tobacco Use Prevention
More and more youth are starting to "try" tobacco products everyday. Some of them are curious and just want to "see what it's like", while others are already addicted and do not even know it. Tobacco use is not "cool" at all and leads to many health problems. We aim to address the curiosity that so many youth have about Tobacco, and educate them of the dangers and risks involved.

Alcohol Use Prevention
You would be surprise to know how many underage alcohol abusers there are. On TV, the Internet and News Reports, we see cases of teenage celebrities dealing with alcohol addictions. Unfortunately, everything on TV is not "make-believe" and many youth in our own communities secretly deal with the same addiction. We aim to inform youth about alcohol abuse, why underage drinking is not cool, and how to get help if you currently have an alcohol problem.

Drug Use Prevention
Drugs, Drugs, Drugs are everywhere. The curiosity of different drugs available is no different than that of alcohol and tobacco. Although all substance abuse is detrimental, drug abuse/addiction is one of the worst. Drug addiction often takes over your life in ways that can ruin more than just your health. Drug addiction will eventually control your actions, will have you behave in ways that are outside of your normal character, and always hurts those who care about you most. We take a close look into this deadly addiction and try to help our youth see why the use of drugs is such a terrible, irresponsible choice.

Career Opportunities
There are many career choices in this extremely diverse world we live in. Many opportunities exist, but only the most common are presented to our youth. Motorsports are often only viewed as a form of entertainment, but there are also plenty of career opportunities that lay between the rubber and the road. We like to expose some of these opportunities and help our youth learn about the experts behind the scenes, who make it all happen. Additionally, we challenge them to explore there own interests, and see what career opportunities may be a good fit for "them". It is important to build a career centered around something you already love to do.
