    Description

    Help create a meaningful experience that inspires change.

    As an Event Assistant Volunteer with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), you'll play an important behind-the-scenes role in helping Victim Impact Panels run smoothly. Your support allows victim survivors to share their stories in a respectful environment while helping educate court-ordered offenders about the lasting consequences of impaired driving.

    MADD's Victim Impact Panels are educational presentations for court-ordered offenders that combine prevention education with powerful personal stories from those impacted by impaired driving. Event Assistants help ensure each panel is organized, welcoming, and ready to make a lasting impact.

    What You'll Do

    Working alongside MADD staff and fellow volunteers, you will:

    • Welcome participants and assist with registration and check-in.
    • Help set up and clean up the event space.
    • Support the flow of the panel and assist volunteers as needed throughout the event.
    • Help create a respectful, supportive environment for victim survivors sharing their personal experiences.

    Volunteer Details & Benefits

    This opportunity is a great fit for individuals interested in event coordination, community service, nonprofit volunteerism, public safety, victim advocacy, and community outreach.

    As a volunteer, you will:

    • Gain experience with event support and nonprofit programming.
    • Build communication, teamwork, and organizational skills.
    • Receive training and ongoing support from MADD staff.
    • Join a dedicated team working to prevent impaired driving and support victims and survivors.

    Volunteer Requirements:

    • Ages 16+
    • No prior experience is required.
    • Comfortable interacting with diverse groups of people in a respectful and professional setting.
    • Daytime and evening opportunities are available, depending on the panel schedule.
    • Travel reimbursement is available.

    If you're looking for a meaningful volunteer opportunity where your time and support can make a real difference, we'd love to have you join our team.

    Together, we can help prevent future impaired driving, support victim survivors, and create safer communities.
