The Vision Zero Youth Ambassador Program aims to address the pressing issue of pedestrian safety, focusing on the disproportionate impact on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities in Virginia. The program's goal is to equip BIPOC youth aged 15-29 with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to combat pedestrian deaths and injuries in their communities.
Ambassadors will participate in a 5-month educational and community engagement experience addressing pedestrian safety. This program harnesses the power of digital storytelling, advocacy, and community engagement to design interventions that prioritize pedestrian safety.
The Vision Zero Youth Ambassadors Program is a competitive program that will select a small group of candidates to join the program in the following locations:
Arlington County
Fairfax County
Henrico County
Norfolk City
Richmond City
Virginia Beach City

Mission Statement
To unite, equip, and build capacity for young people to lead in addressing the most pressing health and safety issues affecting them today. NOYS envisions a nation where young people lead the charge in promoting safe and healthy lifestyles for themselves and their communities.
Description
The National Organizations for Youth Safety (NOYS) was originally founded by the Department of Transportation in 1995 as the Traffic Safety Collaboration, and soon after became NOYS as a 501(c)(3) with the mission to build partnerships that will save lives, prevent injuries, and promote safe and healthy lifestyles among all youth while encouraging youth empowerment and leadership. Since its inception, NOYS has grown and expanded from a traffic safety focus to include other safety areas such as injury prevention, substance abuse prevention, and violence prevention. NOYS has convened over 100 federal agencies, industry leaders, and nonprofit organizations that promote youth safety through education, engagement, and empowerment. As a coalition, NOYS has historically reached over 9 million annually. Today, NOYS is leveraging 25+ years of collaborative engagement experience to position young people to lead change.
