MARQUETTE -- The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is looking for volunteers to teach off road vehicle (ORV) classes.

Classes for ORV safety will be held in June.
    
Whoever is chosen must attend a three-day instructor academy where they will learn the policies and procedures and teaching concepts.
    
The DNR is seeking someone who is excited about off-road vehicles.

"A lot of times the people that are teaching these classes are passionate about it. They have the expert knowledge and they want to pass that along to the next generations, so that's the perfect kind of person that we want to see teaching these classes," said DNR spokesperson, Debbie Munson Badini.

Those wishing to become a DNR safety educator must be over 18, have a valid drivers license, among other requirements.
    
There is no deadline to apply, but the classes may fill up fast; if that is the case, more classes may be scheduled as needed.
