Based on student concerns about school safety, Naveen Hassan initiated three safe school programs at Mackenzie. As a result of her initiatives major changes have occurred including the installation of a 'hotline' which is connected to the school's main telephone system and allows students to anonymously leave tips related to safety concerns. This system was later recognized by the TDSB and rolled-out to all secondary schools in the system.

Naveen started Ontario Students Against Impaired Driving (OSAID) which raised awareness about the dangers of impaired driving and unsafe driving in her community.

Empowered Students Partnerships is a year long program educating students about the issue of drug activity and "Party in the Right Spirit" which worked with Toronto Public Health on educating students and parents on strategies for safer partying.

Naveen was named "Amazing Young Activist" by the City of Toronto and was named as one of Canada's prestigious Top 20 Under 20 in 2006.
