Are you a little adventurous minded and enjoy the company of others? Want to be directly involved in a lifesaving service? This opportunity might be perfect for you!

We need volunteers aged 21+ who have a good driving record, clean background, and time to drive survivors of domestic violence from a Dallas, TX location to a destination an hour or more away.

  • Trips are typically to another county or state depending on our client's needs.
  • Arranged pick-ups in a safe public place going to a home or shelter.
  • Most of our clients travel with children- we prepare car seats so you don't have to.
  • You can choose to accept a trip- no pressure!
  • Families to Freedom provides the vehicle, fuel, food and other travel costs.
  • Multi-state driving missions typically start in the morning, regional trips embark on short notice starting morning or afternoon
  • You can share driving with a friend or family member if they are also a volunteer!
  • Some travel is same-day return, other longer trips require an overnight stay.

Weekday volunteer drivers are in high demand!! The majority of our callers are women who feel comfortable with a woman driving them.

View the Volunteer page on FamiliestoFreedom.org for an application. Please provide a phone number in your response to schedule private orientation and training convenient for your schedule, or call 972-885-7020 for information about this position.

About Families to Freedom

Location:

P.O. Box 1226, Addison, TX 75001, US

Mission Statement

Our mission is transport victims of domestic abuse to safety.

Description

Families to Freedom provides free transportation services to victims and their children who have experienced domestic abuse. We make it possible for victims and new survivors to get far away from abusive relationships. Our life-saving services include car rides to domestic violence shelters across the region, road trips to family homes in other states, multi-state bus tickets, and fuel assistance to relocate far away. We serve victims and new survivors across North Texas, East Texas, and the Gulf Coast area. We drive over 900 victims and children each year between two offices located in Dallas and Houston. We rely on the generous support of the community to continue providing these services at no cost to the victims who call us.
