ORGANIZATION: Jewish Family Service of Colorado

Help refugee clients learn to navigate public transportation, a crucial step toward independence in their new community. In this orientation, you’ll teach clients how to read RTD maps, plan routes, understand schedules, and travel safely. You’ll accompany them on their first bus ride, helping with ticketing, transfers, and ensuring they reach their destination on time. This opportunity empowers clients to access essential services like work and grocery stores, fostering self-sufficiency. No experience is required, and bus passes are provided.
