Welcome to Illinois SADD
More than saying "No"
Originally, the mission of the SADD chapter was to help young people say "No" to drinking and driving. Today, the mission has expanded. Students have told us that positive peer pressure, role models and other strategies can help them say "No" to more than drinking and driving.
And that is why SADD has become a peer leadership organization dedicated to preventing destructive decisions, particularly underage drinking, other drug use, impaired driving, teen violence and teen depression and suicide.

Distracted Driving Simulator
Contact IL SADD to bring the distracted driving simulator to your school or community.
This interactive driving simulator is an excellent way to raise awareness around the issue of texting and driving. Use the on-screen phone or your own cell phone, but be prepared for the consequences. This simulator, made possible by IDOT’s Division of Traffic Safety is the latest resource being provided to schools to address the issue of distracted driving. The SADD State Coordinator is hitting the road to spread the message.....txt l8tr.....not behind the wheel!
View the SADD Simulator Brochure for more information!
Follow the roadtrip on facebook and contact us today to bring the simulator to you!
