Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD)
The goal of DCH's Teen Safe Driving Program is to raise awareness through education, action, and advocacy. Individual programs sponsored by our dealerships are designed to raise awareness in the community. Our approach is to educate teens about smart decisions and safe driving and provide parents with the tools they need to set the standards with their teenage drivers.
The cornerstone of our program is our affiliation with
Students
Against Destructive Decisions (SADD). Originally, the mission
of the SADD chapter was to help young people say "No" to drinking and
driving. Today, the mission has expanded. Students have told us that
positive peer pressure, role modeling and environmental strategies can
prevent other destructive decisions and set a healthier, safer course
for their lives. And that is why SADD has become a peer-to-peer
education, prevention, and activism organization dedicated to preventing
destructive decisions, particularly underage drinking, other drug use,
risky and impaired driving, teen violence, and teen
suicide.DCH Auto Group is the exclusive automotive dealer sponsor of SADD in New Jersey, Southern New York, Fairfield, Connecticut, and Southern California. We has made an investment in teen driving safety and education through deeper commitments to the communities in which its dealerships operate and its employees and customers live.
