Streets, Art, SAFE
Streets, Art, SAFE is an exciting program that challenges high school students to use film, posters, and visual storytelling to educate their peers about traffic safety. It’s more than a competition—it’s a chance for young voices to lead change, inspire safer communities, and shine on a public stage. Along the way, students gain real-world skills in media, design, and visual communication—skills that look amazing on college and career applications.
