Firestone Complete Auto Care

Girl Scouts of the USA is pleased to continue the third year of its partnership with Firestone Complete Auto Care™ whose support led to the development of On the Road, a program that encourages girls to be competent, smart and safe drivers.

On the Road provides teenage girls, ages 14-17, with innovative hands-on activities related to automotive safety and maintenance, smart driving and careers in the automotive industry. In 2007, the program impacted girls in over 40 councils through grants and Car Care Academies facilitated by Trisha Hessinger, automotive education specialist and professional driver. As the 2008 season approaches, we're gearing up to reach girls from around the globe using original resources including the On the Road focus book, online games and e-cards, and appearances at girl-focused tradeshows and events.

The generous investment is leveraging matching funds from the US Department of Labor to expose girls to further career opportunities in the automotive industry.

Firestone Complete Auto Care™ believes in educating tomorrow's drivers—and leaders—today. That's why Firestone Complete Auto Care™ proudly partners with the Girl Scouts on automotive education programs and career opportunities for girls. Firestone Complete Auto Care™ is the Diamond Sponsor of Girl Scouts 95th Anniversary.
