Greenlink is seeking volunteers for its pilot Mystery Rider Program. This customer service initiative aims to collect trip feedback in real-time, is intended to gather details on the complete customer experience and will identify areas for improvement and employee recognition.
Why should you volunteer?
- Help the Facilities team address bus stop issues.
- Help the Maintenance team address mechanical issues and cleanliness issues on the bus.
- Help the Safety & Training team address areas for improvement in operations and customer service.
Your feedback can lead to a better customer experience for everyone!
What is required and what do you get out of it?
Volunteers will be required to participate in a one-hour training to understand how to complete the Mystery Rider Report. In exchange for attending the training, volunteers will receive two 7-Day passes ($25 value).
Then, once the training is complete, passengers will be required to complete a minimum of 12 Mystery Rider Reports:
- 3 completed on trips taken M-F between 5:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
- 3 completed on trips taken M-F between 12:30 – 4:30 p.m.
- 3 completed on trips taken M-F between 4:30 – 11:30 p.m.
- 3 completed on trips taken on Saturdays between 8:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.
In exchange for completing the twelve reports, volunteers will receive one 31-Day pass ($50 value).
All reports are due by April 30, 2024.
Artisphere has approached us to participate in their Arts Partner Program, offering a chance to secure funding for GCCA through volunteer efforts. By collectively completing 250 volunteer hours, we can unlock vital resources that will be reinvested back into our community in various meaningful ways.
While our dedicated staff is committed to contributing their time, we recognize that our team alone will not reach the goal. That’s why we’re calling on our wonderful community to join us in this endeavor. With your help, we can achieve our target of 250 volunteer hours.
We’re asking for volunteers to sign up for 2 to 4 shifts each, with most shifts spanning 3 to 4 hours (some may be slightly longer). Your participation will not only support GCCA but also contribute to the vibrant cultural landscape of our city.
To sign up for shifts, please follow the instructions provided in the link below. When registering, be sure to indicate that you’re volunteering on behalf of GCCA to ensure your hours count towards our total. After signing up, we ask that you kindly inform our Operations Manager, Alicia Mizuno, of the number of shifts and total hours you’ve committed to. This will help us keep track of our progress towards our goal.
Join us on Friday, May 17 from 2:00 – 4:00 pm for an afternoon of volunteering at the Long Branch Mitigation property, a protected property adjacent to Woodside Avenue in Greenville.
Participants will help remove litter from this property that serves as refugia for many birds and other wildlife. Volunteers will learn about the site’s history and how it came to be protected by a conservation easement. Please wear long pants and close-toed shoes you don’t mind getting dirty. Gloves and garbage bags will be provided.
