Drama & Volunteer Openings!

There was a little bit of drama over Saferides, but that has been sorted out. Until someone tries to pull a fast one on Saferides, we are still ok, and still operating. 

Its the second semester now, which means quite a lot of work. Still, because work means stress, and stress, for many students, means alcohol, we need more support form volunteers than ever. 

One night makes a difference, and we cannot stress this enough.

Support for Saferides!

We sent out a message on Facebook asking for opinions about Saferides from people who had used the service, had volunteered, or who support the program. This is what we got back so far:

Saferides saves lives. It's that simple. It allows people in dangerous situations to act safely - an option they would not have if Saferides were not performing its service. Helping to preserve Saferides means helping to preserve the lives of Los Gatos teens for years to come.

Plus the volunteers are pretty awesome people :)

I think that saferides is a good idea. No matter what kind of campaigns you start to try to prevent teens from drinking or whatever else, there are always going to be people who do it anyways. Saferides takes note of that. Even if the teen has been drinking or other, at least now he/she has an option of getting home that is much safer than the teen attempting to drive him/herself home. Viva Saferides!

I have volunteered for saferides and it is a wonderful part of the community. It provides a safe way for us teenagers to get home and allows our parents to know were safe.

This Weekend!

Last weekend we had NO volunteers.
No teens.
No drivers.
No adults.

We were able to scrounge together a staff for Friday and Saturday consisting of us teens, siblings, siblings friends and of course, Grant, our one consistent volunteer.

We DO NOT want to have to do this again, as we have been forced to many times. It is exceedingly dejecting and stressful for everyone.


We will be operating Saferides this weekend and we NEED volunteers. Please help us out. Email us at lgsaferides@gmail.com or leave a comment. If you cannot volunteer this weekend, but are free another time, feel free to let us know, planing in advance is not a problem at all.
