    Description

    Join the Movement That’s Stopping Drunk Driving in Frederick County - Be a Designated Driver!

    Evening Designated Drivers Needed! – Frederick County loves to volunteer, but they want to do something that matters — not just sign up for another event, but actually impact our community directly, maybe even save a life.

    With The Safe Ride Foundation, we make sure you can do both — help save lives while volunteering easily, and in good company.

    Join our evening volunteer team at The Safe Ride Foundation, where you’ll serve as a designated driver for local residents who’ve had too much to drink. You’ll help get both the person and their car home safely; preventing DUIs, crashes, and tragedies before they happen.

    Since our inception in 2015, we’ve been pleased to have prevented over 19,000 DUI incidents and have been named one of Frederick County’s most impactful volunteer programs. You’ll be part of an award-winning team that makes an immediate, measurable difference in your community every single night - and we’d love to have you!

    Why volunteer with us?

    ✅ Be part of one of Frederick’s most inspiring volunteer teams

    ✅ See the immediate impact of your actions — every shift counts

    ✅ Flexible evening shifts — volunteer when you can

    ✅ Keep any tips passengers give you

    ✅ Meet amazing people and network locally

    ✅ Be part of something genuinely life-saving

    You can get started as early as this week! Volunteering is simple, onboarding is fast, and you’ll be on the road making an impact within one evening!

    All you need is a valid driver’s license, a few free evenings, and the heart to make a difference. No fundraising, no red tape — just drive, serve, and you can be out on the road saving lives within a day or two!

    Here’s our belief, philanthropy shouldn’t just about your checkbook, and we always feel that the greatest gift you can give any cause, is not your money, it’s your time. Be the reason someone gets home safe tonight, give the gift of YOU.

    We fight to make sure that there are no more victims, we hope that you can fight with us!
