Youth of Virginia Speak Out About Traffic Safety (YOVASO)

July 11, 2012

YOVASO (Youth of Virginia Speak Out) is a youth leadership organization focused on saving the lives of teenage drivers through encouraging and empowering teenagers to be traffic safety advocates in their schools and communities. YOVASO helps students and school administrators set up a YOVASO Club or expand an already existing club to include safe driving initiatives. Trainings, support materials, safety campaigns, and staff assistance are all free. YOVASO provides its student leaders and club members with yearly training sessions to help them speak confidently about safe teen driving. In addition to school trainings, YOVASO offers leadership retreats and participation in state and national traffic safety conferences for students who want to be more actively involved in teen safe driving efforts. YOVASO also offers internships to its top students. Graduating seniors may apply for YOVASO Trainer Positions if they are enrolling at a Virginia college.
