volunteer
opportunities!
Community
Car has a variety of volunteer opportunities available that you
or someone you would recommend may be interested in. We are looking
to fill the following volunteer positions:
- Car washing:
We wash and vacuum our fleet approximately twice per month at
the full service Octopus Car Wash locations across Madison. We
are looking for someone to maintain 3-5 of our vehicles, taking
up approximately 3-4 hours per month. Any non-member volunteers
will need to provide their driver's license information so we
can add you to our insurance policy.
- Event assistants:
Community Car participates in and tables many events throughout
the year, including University of Wisconsin orientations, student
organization events, neighborhood fairs and festivals, as well
as hosts our own events such as Get Your Green On in March, Earth
Day in April, etc. We are looking for someone to assist in tabling
these events, including set up and take down as well as customer-facing
interaction.
Community
Car members who volunteer earn discounts on their membership plan
depending on their length of monthly commitment.
If
you or someone you know is interested in volunteering, please contact
us by phone at (608) 204-0000 or by email at emily@communitycar.com.
Thank you for being part of the carsharing community with Community
Car.
