About the Alive At 25 Teen Program:

Many teen traffic safety programs focus on creating an awareness of what needs to change. Alive at 25 goes one step further and helps teens look at the underlying attitudes and behavior that contribute to the high rate of fatalities and teaches them how to make safe, responsible teen driving decisions.

Alive at 25 does not show shocking videos that could obscure its traffic safety message and instead it shows video clips where teens can see how their behavior creates dangerous driving situations. Group activities help teens identify situations that could put them at risk as a driver or a passenger, think through the consequences of their actions and use the defensive driving approach to develop the attitudes and skills for making better choices in the future.

The National Safety Council developed this program because of the high number of teen traffic fatalities and over 900 teens have completed Safety Center’s Alive at 25.

The cost of the program covers the class, a certificate of completion from the National Safety Council and an Alive at 25 workbook. enroll...

Alive At 25 Parent Program

What parents say about Alive at 25 Parent Program classes:

“…learned from other parents’ perspectives/ experience…”  “practical information geared toward safety and protection…” “reflect on my own habits…”  “be patient and follow through on (with) consequences...”

Alive at 25 Parent Program is a 3-hour class that covers: 

• Unique risks teens face - peer pressure, distractions, speeding
• Role model – demonstrating safe driving behavior & attitudes
• Driving skills checklist – teaching defensive driving techniques for different traffic and road conditions as teens gain experience
• Parent/Teen Contract - setting expectations and consequences to help teens earn driving independence

Parents should continue to coach teens so they develop complex defensive driving skills including scanning for threats and developing “what if” strategies for adverse traffic, road and weather conditions. In the Parent Program, parents share how they establish clear expectations, enforce Provisional License Restrictions and let young people earn teen driving privileges.

The National Safety Council developed this program because parents play a critical role in demonstrating safe driving habits and reinforcing responsible safe teen driving behavior.
