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.
