Requests from Students

Students are not permitted to request a ride directly from a

volunteer. If this happens, direct them back to the Volunteer

Coordinator instead. Reasons include:

Higher stop-out rates among students who return home frequently
Their return ride to school will often fall through
Increases homesickness

What if…

OPFC suggest stops be limited to meals and restroom breaks
If a student wants to be dropped off at a different location…
OPFC asks volunteers to stick to the original plan
