Ford Driving Skills for Life - FREE Advanced Teen Driver Training

For most teens, getting behind the wheel for the first time is a rite of passage. Ford wants to make sure what comes next – driving safely – isn’t left to chance for teens in Cincinnati and across the country. Ford Philanthropy is teaming up with the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) and the Ohio Traffic Safety Office to bring four free, hands-on Ford Driving Skills for Life clinics to the Ford Sharonville Transmission Plant in Cincinnati over Memorial Day weekend, May 23-24, 2026. Established in 2003, Ford Driving Skills for Life pairs newly licensed or permitted teen drivers with professional instructors for advanced behind-the-wheel training designed to help inexperienced drivers develop the skills needed to recognize hazards, control their vehicles and make safer decisions on the road. Each session combines instruction with hands-on exercises that allow teens to practice important driving techniques in a controlled environment. Participants will work with professional instructors to learn how to manage driving situations – like distracted driving, oversteering and hard braking – and understand how their choices behind the wheel affect others on the road.
