Empowering Youth Through Mobility
Our Mission
My First Keys is dedicated to empowering homeless and foster youth by guiding them on the journey to car ownership—one milestone at a time. We provide teens ages 13 and up with comprehensive driver education, one-on-one behind-the-wheel training, and support in obtaining their learner’s permits and driver’s licenses. Our ultimate goal is to equip every young person we serve with not only the skills and confidence to drive, but the keys to their very first car—unlocking freedom, opportunity, and a path toward independence.
