Back to School with Lookin’ Out

(Erie, Pa.) Oct 3, 2008

Safety bug visits‚ seatbelt checks and mock crashes‚ those are just a few of the exciting activities Lookin’ Out clubs have planned for the 2008-09 school year. This year marks the ninth year Lookin’ Out has partnered Erie Insurance Agents with local high schools to promote safe driving habits among teenage drivers. Last year 72 schools across 10 states were awarded over $130,000 in Lookin’ Out grant funds to help make teens better drivers.

As a leading auto insurer, Erie Insurance believes it is our responsibility to actively encourage teens to become safe, responsible drivers. That’s why we’ve initiated the Lookin’ Out program to make the roads safer for everyone. Lookin’ Out is unique because each activity is created by teens for their peers.

Does Lookin’ Out sound like something you want to be a part of? All you need is a group of teenagers who want to take an active role in raising awareness about safe driving. Lookin’ Out schools are eligible for up to $2,000 in grant funding from Erie Insurance to educate young drivers about dangerous driving behaviors. Lookin’ Out clubs can exist at any high school in a community where there is an Erie Insurance Agent.
