Volunteer Drivers

Save to Favorites

Become a volunteer and help aging adults maintain their health and independence. Volunteer drivers use their own vehicles to take older adults to essential appointments and places. We need your help so we may continue to meet the growing demands for transportation services. You can make a crucial difference in the lives of older adults.

This volunteer opportunity is extremely flexible! We work with your schedule, allowing volunteers to pick the days, times, frequency, and areas they wish to drive. Transportation is one of the top challenges for people as they age. Our My Ride Connection volunteer program is perfect for those seeking meaningful, fulfilling opportunities while maintaining an independent schedule.

Volunteer drivers are ages 18-84, a safe driving record, a current license, reliable vehicle, and insurance. Days and times vary, but most occur on weekdays between 9 am-5 pm. You do not need to commit to a consistent schedule or frequency - you can help several times a month, a few times a year, or anywhere in between! Drivers use their own vehicles to transport older adults with limited transportation options to essential appointments and places or other health-related appointments or services. As a volunteer driver, you will be able to:

• Choose the times, days, and areas you wish to drive
• Receive supplemental liability insurance at no cost
• Engage directly with people in your local community
• Do no heavy lifting or bearing of weight
