Raising awareness of an important cause is awesome – but winning $10,000 for your work is even better! Car crashes are the No. 1 killer of teens in the U.S., and summer is a particularly deadly time of year. In honor of National Youth Traffic Safety Month in May, teens everywhere will Act Out Loud and raise their voices about this issue.
Teens from across the country submitted their project ideas, and the top 10 were selected to compete for the chance to win up to $10,000. Now the 10 finalist teams are executing their projects and documenting it all on their team blogs. The final projects will be unveiled online on May 1, and votes from across the country will determine the winners.
See the About page for more details.
A huge round of applause goes to Bloomingdale SGA - the Act Out Loud grand prize winner! Bloomingdale SGA will be awarded $10,000 for their efforts on behalf of National Youth Traffic Safety Month and will be able to designate a $5,000 grant to the non-profit national youth organization of their choice.
Congratulations to all 10 finalist teams for their hard work on behalf of safe teen driving and their passion for this important issue. Every team's project positively impacted their schools and communities and hopefully will help to save some teen lives down the road. Keep up the great work!
