Volunteer to help educate children on passenger safety. Participants will volunteer to participate in Ollie Otter presentations, interacting with elementary school children to promote child passenger safety. Opportunities for Service Learning hours/credit may be available depending on your high school’s required curriculum. The Ollie Otter Booster Seat and Seat Belt program is grant-funded through the Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO). The THSO has been integral in the inception and continued success of the Ollie Otter program.

Someone working in the following departments/fields; Tennessee Department of Transportation, law enforcement, construction company, county or municipal public works, or utility worker.
Complete and brainstorm your own questions to complete the interview.
