In Schools Where YOVASO Already Exists, It Is Making A Big Impact!
Here's what schools around the state are saying about YOVASO:
“YOVASO About Traffic Safety is the best traffic safety awareness program I have ever encountered. MADD & SADD are great programs, but YOVASO encompasses all the aspects of why our teens are dying in traffic crashes. As a family member to three
young persons killed in traffic crashes and a Deputy Sheriff, I am proud to be coordinating YOVASO at Tunstall High School. Empowering young people to talk with their peers, getting involved, and generally using their own power of persuasion has given new insight to prevention of traffic crashes.”
- Deputy Harris Silverman, SRO, Tunstall High School, Pittsylvania County

“YOVASO is the only club where students can use positive peer pressure to make a difference. The students are in charge and work directly on projects and concerns that are affecting them. Some clubs only target one subject, such as drinking and driving, but YOVASO allows them the freedom to tackle it all - seat belts, speeding, cell phone use, bike safety, child seats for young children, four wheel (ATV) safety, bullying, and many other endless possibilities.”
- Deputy Jennifer Underwood, YOVASO Coordinator, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office

“YOVASO’s message and popularity among our students is growing all the time and the message is so important to our students and community. Our membership is increasing again this year because the students are realizing it’s actually cool to care
about safety. It has been great to see so many school and community organizations step up and lend their support to a mission that could truly save lives. YOVASO, as an organization, provides amazing support and resources which makes getting the word out simple and even entertaining for our students and their families."
- Michelle Clark, YOVASO Sponsor, Liberty High School, Fauquier County

“In the 6 years that I have been involved with YOVASO as the sponsor of the Craig County High School YOVASO Club, I have seen the students awareness of the importance of safe driving increase dramatically. Through YOVASO, they have worked hard to pass the message of safe, smart, and sober driving along to their peers.”
- Deputy Ken Davis, SRO, Craig County High School
