In order for Drive Safe Kalamazoo to be able to run during the weekends of the school year, we rely on volunteers to come in and help us out. Here are the positions students can fill during the night: Drivers- On a typical night, DSK will be running with 7 cars, with 7 drivers and 7 navigators. Drivers are responsible for providing a ride home to our patrons. Drivers must be of 18 years of age or older and have a valid drivers license. Navigators- Our navigators are the passengers in the cars and are responsible for maintaining contact with headquarters. This member is also in charge of reading the patrons their rights; calling patrons to let them know we're almost there and recording all ride information. Operators- There will be typically three operators per night answering patrons' phone calls. These members are in charge of taking down the information necessary to pick-up our patrons. Dispatchers- On an average night there will be two dispatchers. These members are in charge of getting the information from the operators and passing it to the navigators via cell phone. Vehicle Status Board(VSB) Operator- This person is in charge of deciding which car receives the rides depending on where the cars are located and where they are headed to next to make sure we are being efficient as possible. While this position is normally filled by a member of our executive board, regular members with knowledge of the area are welcome to try too! Director in Charge- A member of our executive board that is in charge of operations each night. They set up the apartment for the night and decide which jobs to give the volunteers.
