Have you always wondered what goes on behind closed doors in some of Des Moines’ most successful companies and offices? Get a chance to sit in on professional meetings with international visitors as a volunteer driver. It’s guaranteed that you’ll learn something new! Volunteer drivers must have a valid driver’s license and are subject to background checks. Iowa law requires drivers who are compensated for providing transportation to have a taxicab license; therefore, we cannot reimburse our volunteer drivers for their mileage. Driver opportunities are available year-round.
