The Ollie Otter Program shares the message of booster seat and seat belt safety with elementary school students across the state. Traditionally, Ollie has traveled to these schools with his friends to provide in-person presentations to classrooms and gymnasiums filled with students. Now, Ollie has a virtual option – Ollie LIVE! This option has allowed Ollie even more access to students, and provided even more opportunities for volunteers to get involved in the program. These virtual presentations are conducted through live streams with Ollie and his friends, and all that is required is a computer with stable internet connection in your classroom.

Ollie Otter presentations always include Ollie and at least one of his friends. This friend will either be an Ollie Coordinator, Tennessee Tech Student, or an Ollie Volunteer. When possible, Ollie’s friends from the Tennessee Road Builders Association, Tennessee Highway Patrol, or the Tennessee Highway Safety Office may join the presentation as well.
Students will learn four lessons about child passenger and traffic safety:
In both Ollie LIVE! and in person Ollie presentations, students are asked to join in call-and-response activities while incorporating movement for remembering these lessons, and the presentation ends with an Ollie cheer.
Presentations last approximately 15-30 minutes depending on the medium and group size.
Ollie is always looking for Volunteers ready to help out with presentations. Visit our Volunteer page to learn more about how to get involved!
