About this Opportunity

VIP Volunteers are one of our longest running volunteer opportunities. MADD Michigan has 15+ panels that occur monthly and are in person volunteer opportunities. Typical volunteers are assigned 1-2 panels in their area for the calendar year. This is a great opportunity for folks looking for evening availability and seek consistency. This is a monthly commitment, and we ask you to please commit to the end of the calendar year.Life is forever changed after an impaired driving crash. One way MADD focuses efforts on preventing the deaths, injuries, and devastation from occurring is to educate people about the consequences of impaired driving. Victim impact panels (VIPs) allow victims/survivors an opportunity to heal by sharing their personal stories of bereavement, injuries, and loss with an audience of receptive participants. Volunteer victim impact panel coordinators play an important part in helping to reduce future victimizations through presenting effective VIPs that educate participants to the hazards of impaired driving and motivate participants to make responsible decisions about drinking and driving in the future.This opportunity requires a background check and is not available to those who have received a DUI or OWI.
