Operation Lifesaver Associate

Associates do not give public presentations, but they help state programs with countless day-to-day activities and special events. Please register for a presenter/associate training class by clicking here, or contact your State Coordinator about becoming a trained and certified Operation Lifesaver associate.

Associate Certification at a Glance:

• Complete the Presenter’s Training Course and receive an acceptable rating from the trainer and obtain a passing score on the post-course test. Associates do not need to give a 10-minute condensed Operation Lifesaver presentation (as would a presenter trainee).
• Associates must fully understand and agree to abide by all general policies and procedures of OLI as stated in the Volunteer Application.
• Each associate is expected to help the State Coordinator in one of the following areas at least once a year:
• Help as an event assistant at a fair, conference, booth, etc.
• Write a newsletter or article for your area or state.
• Help run a presenter orientation session.
• Gather donated items for give-a-ways/raffles at Operation Lifesaver events.
• Assist in scheduling presentations.
• Help plan or assist with an event.
• Work as a clerical assistant to the State Coordinator.
• Inventory OL materials.
• Help with fundraising or grant writing.
• Assist the State Coordinator in another significant way.

If an associate decides to be certified as a presenter in order to give presentations, they must attend another Presenter’s Training Course and successfully complete the speaker training requirements.
