Volunteer Drivers Needed - Help Tulsa Teens Get To Their Essential Appointments!
ORGANIZATION: Modus
Please visit the new page to apply.
In Tulsa, 6,000 teens cannot access the important medical and social services they need because they do not have transportation.
That's 6,000 teens who suffer with decreased physical and mental health, who could end up having poorer educational outcomes and lower employment rates due to their decreased abilities, when that doesn't have to be the case at all.
We are Modus.
Modus is a volunteer-based transportation service that ensures teens get to their essential medical and social service appointments, so all teens can access the services necessary to reach their full potential.
Modus is currently looking for eagervolunteer drivers who are willing to use their own vehicle to help Tulsa teens get to and from their necessary appointments. With your help, you can make our mission possible, to void the transportation barrier between Tulsa's youth and their access to health care and social services.
We offer a flexible schedule, where you, the volunteer, gets to choose the ride(s) based on when you are free and able to do so. Scheduled rides take place anytime between 8:00AM and 8:00PM, Monday-Thursday, with most rides taking 15-25 minutes from pick-up to drop-off location + the time to get to pick-up location.
So being a Modus volunteer driver is perfect for those who have a busy schedule and still ideal for those who have lots of time on their hands!
We also offer opportunities for training sessions to learn valuable skills related to not only this opportunity but potentially to other volunteer work you may do.
Come be a part of a team that's dedicated to helping young Tulsans get to necessary appointments now so they can be great citizens for our future.
Such a small commitment with a big impact. Only you can drive change.
