Delaware Safety Council

Safety is universal. Join a new generation of action-focused community safety committees. We’re building hands-on committees for professionals who want to contribute, collaborate, and actually get things done.

We’re currently recruiting for:
• Events Committee
• Volunteer Committee
• School Bus Safety Committee
• Pedestrian Safety Committee
• Legacy & Heritage (History) Committee

Each group is designed for real impact with flexible commitment—whether you have a few hours a month or want to lean in further. If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to give back, but I don’t have time for a board role,” this is for you.

We’re looking for professionals, retirees, creatives, empty nesters, and community-minded individuals ready to help make Delaware safer—one action at a time.

Comment “Interested” below, and we’ll send you more information.
