Participants must register ahead of time on the Teen Street Skills website. On program day, check-in opens 15 minutes prior to the start of your chosen session. The program runs approximately 3 1/2 hours in either a morning or afternoon session. Morning sessions are 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM and afternoon sessions are 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM.
For the 2026 season, there will be a $155 registration fee. Those who cancel within 48 hours of their scheduled program, or those who are enrolled but do not show up, will forfeit the registration fee. For parents who wish to enroll their teen(s) in the program but that cannot afford to pay the full registration fee, there are scholarships available.

Program details
Following a brief introduction, students will be split into two groups of about 15 students. The 3 1/2 hour program is split into two segments covering five main exercises: Emergency Braking, Skid Control, Evasive Lane Change, Car Financial Literacy, and Car Knowledge 2.0.
The first segment involves Emergency Braking and Skid Control exercises, with students switching after 45 minutes. Then there will be a 12 minute game-format activity going over Car Financial Literacy. Next, will be Evasive Lane Change exercises and Car Knowledge 2.0 (with an Officer from Detroit Police Department). The Police Officer will discuss the proper procedures if and when your teen is involved in a traffic stop or accident and will be in full uniform (including weapon). The two groups of students switch after 35 minutes.
recap and certificate presentation
Following the segments, the program concludes with final takeaways and tips from the instructors, as well as highlights (or lowlights!) from the day. Students receive a Certificate of Completion of the Teen Street Skills course.
