Description:
Looking for a way to give back to your community? We need your help to make the AARP Driver Safety Program available to all who want to improve and maintain their driving skills.
The AARP Driver Safety Program is taught and administered by a nationwide network of AARP-trained volunteers. Without our volunteers, the AARP Driver Safety Program would not exist! As a volunteer, you'll receive training, and you'll be reimbursed for approved program related expenses.
As a volunteer you can:
•Contribute to the health, safety and happiness of others in your community
•Receive appreciation from the people you help
•Participate in a thorough orientation and training
•Learn new skills
•Meet and exchange ideas with other volunteers
Instructors teach the AARP Driver Safety Program at least three times per year. Each course typically consists of two 4-hour sessions. Instructors are trained by our program trainers and prior teaching experience is not required. Candidates must take the AARP Driver Safety Program as a pre-requisite to training. Out-of-pocket expenses are reimbursed and a mileage reimbursement is also provided. Instructors also participate in annual or semiannual local Instructor workshops to maintain and enhance their skills. The most important qualities for Instructors are good communication skills and a strong interest in promoting safe driving.
