Transportation Policy and Memorandum of Understanding( MOU)
The majority of the Center for Social Concern’ s programs do not provide any kind of transportation within the scope of your work. If students need to provide transportation( i. e. going to Staples to pick up drawing supplies for your community partner), there are safety protocols that need to be in place between you and your community partner prior to leaving. There is a detailed“ transportation” section in our Memorandum of Understanding( MOU) that are signed by our community partners. View Transportation Policy in MOU. Your supervisor should share their transportation safety policy with you, addressing your safety, discuss an emergency plan, and your itinerary( including the location of the home and estimated time of return). Your community partner should know where you are at all times and in case they need to reach you or you need to reach them, to ensure there is a plan in place.
In addition, students are not permitted to drive any Organization owned or non-owned vehicles( i. e. leases, business Zipcars, etc.). Students should not drive minors under the age of 18. If you ever feel unsafe, you should share your concerns with your organization and / or contact the Center for Social Concern immediately.
Trip Policy Overnight Trips
Any student groups who are going on overnight trips or conferences outside of the Baltimore area need to be approved by a CSC Staff Advisor at least 2 weeks in advance of the trip. If approved, a student group leader must submit the following documents:
• Itinerary Form( including a list of the names of all attendees, contact information of where you will be staying, arrival and departure dates, etc.)
• Emergency Contact and Medical Information Form( from each attendee)
Student group leaders should bring a copy of the CSC’ s Travel Policy with them and get their CSC staff advisor’ s contact information in case of emergency.

We understand that it’ s important for some student groups to plan field trips with your community partners and we believe it’ s important for the work that you are achieving. However, there are policies and protocols
