What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
CLIF C.A.R.E.S.
Through CLIF C.A.R.E.S. (Children Advocates for Road Education & Safety) students work together, in C.A.R.E.S. Club, or other school-based clubs/organizations, in a peer-to-peer learning environment, in order to advocate for road education and safety amongst each other. Club members develop different ideas, strategies, and projects that address specific issues for young drivers in their schools and communities. Students will undergo key leadership training to better equip them to become life-long traffic safety advocates and future successors in the Mid-South and Tennessee workforce.
Clifton B. Gibbs Scholarship & Internship Program
The scholarship program is intended to provide financial assistance to individuals who are furthering their academic studies , committed to a life free from distracted driving, and who embody the same spirit of achievement in all human endeavors.
Coins 4 Change
The program is designed to help educate children about giving back. The program shows that the simple act of collecting change can have a large impact on the battle against childhood fatalities and safety on our highways. By teaching children that they can make a difference in the lives of other children and themselves, we empower them to recognize the power of one. Students compete against their peers and other schools to win prizes while engaging in learning activities surrounding financial responsibility and road safety; and don’t worry teachers… there’s prizes in it for you too!
Collierville Court Program
CLIF is excited to partner with the Honorable Judge William Craig Hall and the Collierville Municipal Court to provide distracted driving education to its juvenile traffic offenders. Juvenile offenders are required to attend and complete Distracted Driving course, including the following:
– Attend a Distracted Driving presentation at Colliervile Municipal Court (offered monthly)
– Wear a “Don’t Text and Drive” awareness wristband while operating a motor vehicle during probationary period
– Take Distracted Driving oath and post signed oath on car visor until the end of probationary period
– Write a 500 word response to the presentation
Victims Assistance Network
V.A.N. provides support to surviving victims of car crashes, or individuals dealing with the aftermath of losing someone as a result of a vehicle-related incident. Through support group meetings, free grief counseling sessions, and hospitality care packages, the V.A.N program aims to help ease the pain caused by being involved in car crash.
CLIF Champion Award
This award is given to individuals whose lives have been drastically affected by distracted driving, but they continue to persevere through their commitment to themselves, their community, and our fight to make the roads a safer place. CLIF is an organization that encourages academic excellence, community involvement, and a sincere lifelong commitment to refrain from any use of mobile phones while driving.
