About C.A.R.E.S.
Children Advocates for Road Education and Safety (C.A.R.E.S.) was formed in
2015 by the Collegiate Life Investment Foundation (CLIF) to address the
increasing and consistent number of teens killed on Tennessee’s roadways.
Starting as a pilot program at Houston High School in Memphis, Tennessee in
conjunction with SADD (Students Against Destructive Decision) and funded by
CLIF; it currently serves as Tennessee’s only peer-to-peer traffic safety education
and prevention program for teen driver safety.
