Since its founding in 1993, Drive Smart has grown from a small band of safety-spirited neighbors into a local institution with hundreds of dedicated volunteers administering numerous programs serving thousands of area residents annually.

This year, thanks to a timely trio of federal grants and the organization's demonstrated resiliency, the nonprofit stands poised to expand its scope, its reach, and - for the first time in a very long time - its paid staff. "This allows us to expand beyond the limits of Evergreen/Conifer and help the local economy by creating paid jobs," says Jackie Mohr, Drive Smart's executive director and - until now - sole employee. "And the trickle-back effects will come right back into this community."
