100+ High School Students Applied to Be Vision Zero Youth Network Ambassadors for 2022-23

The Vision Zero Youth Network (VZYN), a part of Teens Learn to Drive (TL2D), has closed its applications for the 2022-23 period after receiving more than 100 submissions from high schools across Ontario. Selected ambassadors will play a key role in helping eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries around the province.

The program is centred around making a positive difference in Ontario and saving lives in our communities. VZYN is now in the process of selecting ambassadors to lead its program from September 2022 to June 2023.

VZYN ambassadors will have the opportunity to earn 40 community involvement hours, network with like-minded peers, create safer roads in their communities, develop and build skills including time management, public speaking and more, and build a portfolio that they can use for scholarships, university applications and jobs.

All accepted applicants will also have the opportunity to specialize their skills in areas such as video filming and editing, writing, public outreach, graphic design, social media and more.

If you submitted an application, TL2D looks forward to reviewing your application and growing its talented team of creatives.

To learn more about keeping our roads safe, visit the TL2DToday YouTube channel and listen to the ‘The TL2D Podcast’, a podcast for parents, grandparents, guardians with new drivers, learning drivers, or soon-to-be drivers.
