We welcome all people to participate in our events! We pride ourselves in being a resource for the community, and invite you to be apart of our journey as an organization. We’re made better by the support of our volunteers! Each event is an opportunity to help, learn, and make powerful connections with a group of motivated individuals.
Driver’s Permit Study Group
Many of our teens have expressed a desire to learn how to drive and obtain their driver’s licenses. Doing so will greatly impact their ability to reach educational and career goals. We want to support them in their journeys by hosting study days to help them prepare for their DMV permit tests. Upon obtaining their driver’s permits, the CATCH Initiative will sponsor them to take on-the-road driver’s courses. The sooner they can start getting experience on the road with professional instructors, the safer and more equipped they will be when it comes to driving and taking their driver’s license test when they’re eligible. Many people never receive professional driver training, and we think it benefits individual learners as well as the community by making our roads a safer place.
