Volunteer-Office/Program Coordinator: The mission of the Montgomery County Police Department’s Keeping Seniors Safe (KSS) outreach program is to educate senior groups on ways to prevent fraud, scams, and identity theft. Our speakers also focus on how to stay safe at home, when out shopping, and to provide tips on emergency preparedness. We seek an organized individual to serve as the primary liaison to a friendly team of volunteer KSS presenters to handle requests for presentations via telephone and email while maintaining a detailed group calendar of scheduled events. We would look to you for creative ideas on how to market the KSS program when reaching out to community recreation centers, senior living facilities and faith communities who might benefit from free speakers to educate senior audiences. We also need you to order brochures on safety-related topics and to keep them well-stocked and neatly displayed in the Volunteer Resources Office. The Program Coordinator will also collect and compile data which will be used to document the outcome of this important MCPD community outreach program. If you wish to apply your administrative talents, can work independently, and would find it rewarding to implement a systematic approach to coordinate this growing volunteer-driven program, please submit your application today.
