Licensed for Life’s mission is to educate new drivers about the laws regarding driving while under the influence. The program focuses on pre-college students (15-18 years old) developing their ability to make the right choice by providing them with the practical application of safety skills through education. In doing so, we promote, improve and preserve the quality of life in the communities we serve.

Licensed For Life, founded by Executive Director Cheryl Baczek and Commander Mike McNamara, employs handpicked, specially trained, active police officers. LfL send these officers into the classroom to teach students about DUI, DUI prevention, graduated licensing, safety skills and zero tolerance laws. Each officer has experience with intoxicated drivers and explain the effects of alcohol on the human body. They discuss updated DUI laws with the students and have students demonstrate a street sobriety test while wearing Fatal Vision goggles, which simulate an intoxicated driver.
|
Since its inception in September 1997, LfL has been to over 250 high schools, conducted over 4700 classes before over 134,000 students. LfL schedules classes with individuals schools and teaches each driver education/health class that school has during their day. There is no charge to the school and the program is funded through philanthropic and corporate donations. LfL can continue to make a difference, as it becomes an integral part of every driver’s education.
