AAA School Safety Patrol Program
In 1920, the AAA School Safety Patrol program began, allowing students to be active participants in maintaining a safe walk to and from school. Over 50,000 schools and over 500,000 students worldwide have actively participated as members of the AAA School Safety Patrol. AAA Southern New England would like to encourage all schools to initiate their own AAA School Safety Patrol program. For more information about how your school can start their own Patrol, click on to the following list of documents:

AAA Poster Contest & Senior High Communications Contest
Youngsters from elementary school through high school have the chance to create an important traffic safety message and be recognized for their efforts. Elementary students create posters using traffic safety themes. High school students can create posters, or videos. Winners are selected at both the local and national level. Winners receive cash prizes from the Club.
AAA / Ford Auto Skills
The top high school automotive technicians in each state compete annually in the AAA/Ford Auto Skills. After reaching the state finals through a written exam, students must diagnose and repair deliberately bugged Ford cars. The students compete for over $100,000 locally in scholarships and prizes, and the winning teams represent their state at the national Auto Skills finals. The program calls attention to the need for qualified service technicians throughout the country.
