OnRamp Advocate Requirements*

To serve as an advocate and nominate an individual or couple to OnRamp, you must agree with all of the following four requirements…



1. I work or volunteer with a local charity, church, ministry, school, health care provider, or government agency that is providing care, assistance, coaching, or training in some form to the individuals or family I want to nominate to OnRamp.



2. I have personally known the nominee (the person I am nominating) for at least six months (OnRamp can occasionally make exceptions on a case-by-case basis for as little as three months, but you must request an exception first)



3. I am willing to personally vouch for the nominee's character, that he or she is trustworthy and hard-working.



4. I am willing to walk with the nominee through the OnRamp process, including holding him or her accountable to mutually agreed upon action steps, attending an interview, and continuing to invest in this person’s life for a full year after the vehicle donation if the nominee is accepted into the OnRamp program. Barring unforeseen circumstances, if the applicant is gifted a vehicle by OnRamp, I commit to contact the applicant at least once a month for the next twelve months to ensure they stay focused on their goals and work hard to accomplish them, and I will update the OnRamp team about any major changes in the applicant's life.
