bullet I promise program

Gary's social work career and interests seem to follow the development of his own family. It make sense then that his attention has been drawn for the past couple of years to teen driver safety given that his own son has entered the age of independent driving. As such, Gary developed the I Promise Program to promote teen driver safety and reduce the risk of his own son's involvement in a car crash. The I Promise Program has gone from conception to launch to the international stage in just two years.
 

 What is the I Promise Program?
The I Promise Program is a free, safe driving initiative developed for families with new young drivers. It consists of a Parent-Youth Safe Driving Contract and a rear-window sign.
