Hi Everyone!
Every year Mothers Against Drunk Driving hosts our annual Walk Like MADD event where we raise funds to help MADD carry out its mission and continuing to be able to offer all of our services free of charge.
This is a super fun event! I am looking for some volunteers to help us on the day of the event (details will be below) with manning booths, being in charge of certain tables, clean up, etc. Students are absolutely welcome to come out and help us! This will also count as community service, so if there are students who need a few hours of community service, I can sign off on it :)
DETAILS:
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.

MADD's mission is: to end drunk driving, help fight drugged driving, support the victims of this violent crime and prevent underage drinking.
MADD was incorporated on September 5, 1980, the mission or purposes of MADD as stated in its Articles of Incorporation were "To aid the victims of crimes performed by individuals driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, to aid the families of such victims and to increase public awareness of the problem of drinking and drugged driving.
In 1984, MADD changed its name from Mothers Against Drunk Drivers to Mothers Against Drunk Driving. This carefully considered change was made because MADD is opposed to the criminal act of drunk driving, not individuals. MADD also updated its mission statement to "Mothers Against Drunk Driving provides grassroots leadership to create major social change in the attitude and behavior of Americans toward drunk driving.
MADD has worked tirelessly to end drunk driving and create a future of No More Victims. In the campaign to eliminate drunk driving MADD supports high visibility law enforcement keeping the roads and communities safe, ignition interlock devices in all cars and has passed laws in 30 states to achieve this goal, supports autonomous vehicle technology and the driver alcohol detection systems for safety. Through community education in our schools, at organizations and to those who have received a DUI we are changing people's perspectives and attitudes.
Our Dublin office serves the whole bay area with many opportunities to engage with your community to make a difference!
