About This Presentation

Slide 1 - Volunteer Orientation
Slide 2 - MADD’s Mission To eliminate drunk driving. To support victims of this violent crime. To prevent underage drinking.
Slide 3 - History of MADD Founded in 1980 by Candy Lightner, a mother who’s 13 year old twin daughter, Cari, was killed by a drunk driver. MADD grew as a nonprofit grassroots organization driven largely by volunteer support. In the last 30+ years MADD has had a part in… seeing the legal drinking age raised to 21. changing the legal intoxication limit to .08. and other legislation, all of which has resulted in lowering the number of lives lost to drinking and driving by half since the organization was founded. Today we are the nation’s largest nonprofit working to protect families from drunk driving and underage drinking. Cari Lightner
Slide 4 - MADD Today MADD is not anti-alcohol. MADD is not against drinking for those OVER the legal age of 21. MADD IS against the irresponsible choice to drink and drive. We are all about Zero tolerance for kids and Safe Choices for adults.
Slide 5 - Some Important Statistics In 2011, there were 9,878 alcohol-impaired driving fatalities which accounted for 31% of all motor vehicle fatalities in the US. Every day in America, another 27 people die as a result of drunk driving crashes. On average, one in three people will be involved in a drunk driving crash in their lifetime. An average drunk driver has driven drunk 80 times before first arrest. Teen alcohol use kills about 6,000 people each year.
Slide 6 - Volunteer Opportunities There are several kinds of volunteer opportunities for MADD volunteers. Core Programming These research-based programs are tied directly to mission objectives. Awareness To promote the mission of MADD and make others aware of our cause. Fundraising It takes money to provide programming that supports our mission. You can help! Administrative As part of MADD’s cost saving strategies, offices operate with small staff. You can help by lending a hand. Public Policy Lend your voice to ensure that legislation is enacted which will impact our mission. Volunteers are the heart and soul of MADD. As a grassroots organization, MADD depends on volunteers to move its mission forward and save lives! MADD volunteers make things happen! Please note: Not all opportunities listed on the following slides are available at this time in all areas. Please advise Volunteer Coordinator of your areas of interest and we will notify you as opportunities become available. Some programs require a background check such as those that work with youth, victims, fundraising, or events where you may be handling cash for MADD.
Slide 7 - Volunteer Opportunities Court Monitors – Volunteers are trained to observe the court system and collect information on drunk driving cases. The data must be entered online into a centralized system by the court monitor or another trained volunteer. This information is used by MADD to recommend constructive improvements to our judicial system. Volunteer training will include an overview of the relevant state laws, the Rules of Evidence, and the role of the Court Monitor.  Availability: If interested in working in Davidson County, must be available at least once every other week on Tuesdays from 8:00 – 2:00pm.

Core Programming Mission Connection: Eliminate Drunk Driving
Slide 8 - Volunteer Opportunities Victim Impact Panelists – Allows victims/survivors an opportunity to heal by sharing their personal stories of bereavement, injuries, and loss with DUI or other alcohol-related offenders. Panels reduce future victimizations by educating participants to the hazards of impaired driving and motivating participants to make responsible decisions about drinking and driving in the future. Panelists are challenged with creating receptive audiences. Requirements: Only victims or law enforcement may participate as speakers. Case must be adjudicated,. Should wait one-two years after victimization to step into this role. MADD staff recommendation required. Core Programming Mission Connection: Eliminate Drunk Driving
Slide 9 - Volunteer Opportunities Victim Advocates – Provide direct victim services to victims/survivors of impaired driving crashes who may be in need of crisis intervention, emotional support, financial resource referrals, practical guidance in the criminal justice process, community referrals, and/or support groups. Services are delivered in-person, by telephone, and via email.

Table Host Organizations often ask MADD to participate in company or community events by hosting a display table, giving out brochures, and talking to people about our cause. Although these opportunities are invaluable in helping to spread the word about what we do and in recruiting additional volunteers, because of limited resources, our staff isn’t always able to accommodate such requests.

Slide 21 - Reporting Volunteer Service Hours Some of our grants require us to record the number of hours our volunteers devote in service to activities for the organization. Therefore, it is very important that our volunteers submit monthly Volunteer Time Sheets to us so that we may comply with these requirements that ensure continued funding. Volunteer Time Sheets can be downloaded from our website or requested from your local MADD staff representative. Please log all activity and note the project or event for which the time was spent. You may mail, fax, or scan/email your completed timesheets to michelle.rozell@madd.org. We thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter! Thank You!!!
Slide 22 - A Few Important Policy Notes Conflicts of Interest Exists when the interests or concerns of a volunteer or the person’s immediate family, or any party, group, or organization to which the person has allegiance can cause MADD to be legally or otherwise vulnerable to litigation, criticism, or embarrassment. Volunteers should avoid such conflicts – potential or real. If one exists, it needs to be disclosed and that person will be excluded from discussion, voting, and/or decision making activities surrounding said conflict. MADD & Politics IRS regulations prohibit non-profits from participation in political campaigns. Individuals must refrain from any open display of political campaigning (buttons, other advertising, etc) while attending a MADD event or acting as a MADD representative. Violation could cost MADD our tax exempt status! Mixed Messages Messaging to underage youth should support the lifesaving “21” legal drinking age laws. Though our youth programming does include education about the dangers of drinking and driving as an adult, messaging that simply urges YOUTH not to drink and drive is inappropriate. Messages to youth must convey a clear “no use” message.
