Our Manager, Knowledge Translation and Programs, Umayangga | உமையங்கா will be speaking at YOURS - Youth for Road Safety tomorrow (Aug. 16) about why youth engagement is important in #RoadSafety. #ParachuteVZ

I joined YOURS - Youth for Road Safety this morning for the launch of their new module on Meaningful Youth Participation which I reviewed on behalf of Parachute. I highly recommend this engaging and comprehensive module for youth and decision-makers: yoursacademy.org

Introducing the Youth Road Safety Grant Program, a new initiative for youth (15 to 24) to make a difference in their community! Youth can win a $500 grant & a $100 honorarium to implement a project on any pressing road safety issue in their community: parachute.ca/YouthRoadSafet…

“I have been taught that road safety is a two-way street. As much as it’s important for drivers to slow down, it’s just as important for me as a pedestrian, to be safe and be seen.” - Sophia Plante, 2023 winner of our Youth Road Safety Grant program. Congrats! #OurFutureRoads

Congratulations to Ovia Mano from Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador, and her project "Interactive Presentations on Road Safety at Elementary Schools" on winning the 2023 Parachute Youth Road Safety Grant! parachute.ca/en/program/nat… #OurFutureRoads #ParachuteVZ #NTDSW2023

"I am committed to making roads safer in my community because of my personal experience with the lack of road safety in Tamarindo, Costa Rica," - Ava Benaich, 2023 winner of our Youth Road Safety Grant program. Congratulations, Ava! #OurFutureRoads #NTDSW2023

Young people are each uniquely affected by road safety issues. Diverse youth leaders ensure that everyone’s needs are being met. Learn how to get involved at parachute.ca/ntdsw #NTDSW2023 #OurFutureRoads
