VOLUNTEERING
Loudoun County MADD is a grass-roots organization, staffed with volunteers who get the message out that drinking and driving is unacceptable behavior. We do this in many ways. These include:

  • Assembling red ribbon cards for our campaigns.  We distribute up to 100,000 ribbons each year in Loudoun County. 
  • Help the Sheriff's Department with Loudoun County's Sobriety checkpoints.
  • Help staff booths at various festivals and events.
  • MADD sponsored events such as the Poster-Essay contest.

We need your help with planned events as well as publicizing our car donation program.  If you can volunteer for any of the events listed below, we would be very grateful. Please leave us a voice mail at (703) 771-8127 or E-mail to maddloudoun@aol.com with the dates and times that you are available. We also need help distributing flyers for the Car Donation Fund Drive. If you could put a display box at your workplace or in your neighborhood we would be most appreciative. Thank you for your previous support of Loudoun County MADD.

Students can accumulate Community Service Hours for volunteering at certain events and by volunteering to help.

We hope you can fit some of these events into your schedule.
