Safer roads are everyone’s responsibility. MakeItSafe brings people, schools, businesses and communities together to improve road-safety awareness and encourage safer choices across Barbados. Whether you can give time, share expertise or support an initiative, there is a way to contribute.
Choose an opportunity below or contact our team to discuss how you can help. Opportunities and event details depend on current programmes and availability.
Volunteer your time
Help with road-safety awareness, community outreach, educational activities and event support when opportunities are available. Tell us about your interests, availability and skills.
Partner as a business or fleet
