Mission

The NSSP mission is to encourage and assist students as they initiate and implement safety activities within their respective schools and communities. NSSP fosters the awareness that there is a problem on our nation’s highways, and students have the power to unite against the growing menace of highway fatalities.

The goals of NSSP are to prevent injuries and save lives by:

  • Stimulating interest in the conservation and enhancement of life through safety promotion;
  • Focusing the attention of youth groups on the need for and benefits of co-curricular highway/traffic safety activities;
  • Empowering students with encouragement, resources, and the leadership skills to carry out constructive and continuing highway/traffic safety programs in their schools and communities;
  • Providing leadership and a channel through which students can express their thoughts and ideas concerning safety and the well-being of human life.
  • Providing a supportive network for teens to make safe and healthy lifestyle choices.
