    Description

    Automotive Maintenance Basics Class Leader

    We are seeking a hands-on, patient volunteer to lead a Basic Automotive Maintenance Education Class for single parents in our community.

    This class will focus on practical skills that help participants feel confident and safe when it comes to vehicle care, such as:

    • Understanding dashboard warning lights
    • Checking and changing fluids (oil, coolant, washer fluid)
    • Tire care (pressure, rotation basics, changing a flat)
    • Basic troubleshooting and when to seek professional help
    • How to avoid common auto repair scams

    Details:

    • Format: In-person or via Zoom (in-person preferred for demonstrations, but not required)
    • Audience: Single parents with varied experience levels
    • Time commitment: Once; 90 minutes
    • Experience: Automotive experience (professional or personal) required; certification not necessary

    We’re looking for someone who is:

    • Approachable, encouraging, and safety-minded
    • Comfortable teaching beginners with no prior knowledge
    • Passionate about empowering families through practical life skills

    If you’re interested—or would like more information—please contact susan.woodson@pchas.org.

    Helping someone care for their vehicle can mean helping them get to work, school, and everything in between.
