ABC15

Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley’s first-of-its-kind study with Waymo was featured on ABC15. In the randomized trial, teen interns who rode autonomous vehicles to their summer internships saw transportation stress drop from 86% to 43%, while stress among teens who got there on their own didn’t change. Across 539 rides, there were zero safety incidents, and families reported less worry about getting their teens to work and home safely.

Terros Health and the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Valley are working together to address mental health needs in more under-represented communities. The pilot program is called “The Whole Child Approach,” where there will be wellness coaches provided at various branches of Boys and Girls Clubs in Maricopa and Pinal counties.
