VOLUNTEER PROGRAM Quick Answers
Why is a volunteer background check required? We want you to feel confident and secure in your role as a volunteer. The background check process helps ensure a safe environment for everyone— whether you're interacting with our team, our participants, or the broader community. It’s about making sure you’re joining a trustworthy group that prioritizes safety and integrity. Will I receive training? What support is available to volunteers? We want all volunteers to feel confident and supported throughout their time with MADD. No prior experience is required—our onboarding process is designed to ensure your role is a great fit for you and that you gain a strong understanding of who we are and why our mission matters. After orientation, you’ll be connected with your staff lead, an expert in your program area who will provide the training and guidance you need to succeed in your role. Beyond your role-specific support, you’ll also have an extra layer of assistance from our Volunteer Resources Specialist, who is dedicated to supporting both new and active volunteers. We’re here to ensure you have everything you need to make an impact. How many hours do I need to commit as a volunteer? It depends! MADD offers flexible volunteer opportunities and works with your schedule whenever possible. Some roles are monthly while others could be quarterly. However, to ensure that the training we provide is valuable for both you and our staff, each role has a minimum hour commitment required to get started. The specific requirement varies by role. To learn more, please reach out to our Volunteer Resources Specialist for a position description of the role you're interested in.
