MIET Volunteer Center implements the program "City Volunteers" on the provision of "Transport". Their tasks include coordinating and meeting guests at railway stations. Representatives of MIET work in shifts, from June 14 to July 15, mainly at the Leningrad, Yaroslavl and Kazan railway stations.
From October to December 2017, MIET selected and conducted interviews for those, who want to become a volunteer. Of the 250 people applied for the program, 195 candidates were approved. The training of the volunteers was conducted by "Mosvolonter" and they were supposed to go through three stages: general and functional training and on-site training. Candidates were told about the safety rules at mass events, about actions in an emergency situation, about the peculiarities of working with disabled people and persons with HIA, and also volunteers received trainings on interaction with the guests of the capital.
