Do you know an agency, ideally another nonprofit, that could benefit from a complete teen and parent driver safety program? If so, let us know. The Humanity Project is formally getting out of driver safety, something we called "respect on the roads." Sponsored by our good friends at State Farm, our acclaimed I Care program would come to another agency total and complete: all-original program materials, graphics, videos, music etc. An agency only needs to add their own logo. We are doing this to focus our mission even more tightly on self-worth as well as social equality and mutual respect. Driver safety increasingly has fallen outside our focus area. But it's a great program! Please spread the word and let us know if someone would like to discuss this.
I Care was started in 2012 with a grant from State Farm and since then has been consistently financed by State Farm. They regarded it as a unique, innovative teen driver safety program that also has a component for parents of teen drivers.
But after 13 years of operating I Care, the Humanity Project has evolved in another direction. It is time for us to end I Care.
As the head of the Florida Teen Safe Driving Coalition told us: "First and foremost, I want to acknowledge the incredible work you’ve done with The Humanity Project over the years. Your dedication to promoting teen driver safety has undoubtedly saved lives, and your contributions to the field have made a lasting impact."
State Farm has contributed some $240,000 toward our I Care teen driver safety program over those years – we are deeply grateful to them and to our friend, Jose Soto. But yes, the Humanity Project wants to hand off I Care to another good organization, hoping these lifesaving materials won’t just disappear. Far too many lives still are lost on our highways each year. And many many others are damaged through injuries. Our society needs programs like I Care. Help us to keep more teenage drivers alive by keeping alive I Care.
