Driver Education Foundation Opens the Doors of Opportunity for Disadvantaged Young Americans
The Driver Education Foundation of America (DEFA) is a 501(c) (3) national, non-profit organization. The Foundation chartered on July 16, 2007, with the purpose of transforming the lives of young individuals through driver education and safety. Support for the organization comes by means of donations from corporations and individuals, as well as grants, gifts and volunteer efforts.
The Driver Education Foundation of America's goal is to enrich the lives of young individuals, ages 18 - 25 years, who cannot attend a driver training facility due to limited financial resources. As a charitable and educational non-profit organization, scholarships will be awarded to students meeting the criteria established by the Foundation.
Mission Statement
DEFA will help transform the lives of many young individuals by awarding scholarships that will provide mentoring, education, and application of driver skills training in accordance with the laws in Georgia. The Foundation will partner with driving schools to provide driver education to individuals ages 18 through 25 years of age for the purpose of obtaining a Class C driver's license and becoming an independent driver. As the doors of opportunity open, these individuals are able to fulfil positions in companies, transportation industry specifically in the ridesharing and home delivery segments.
Vision
- To educate and train young individuals with advanced driving skills and knowledge, improving driving standards in Georgia.
- To record statistics, research driving behaviors and provide information to further improve the laws and legislation for driving skills and training standards on a national level.
- To work with the government and other non-profit organizations in the fight to reduce and prevent motor vehicle accidents by improving the driving skills of our younger generation.
- To provide generations of trained and skilled and safe drivers.
