Even the best treatment can’t work if a patient can’t get there. That’s why a successful transportation assistance program can be a tremendous, potentially life-saving asset to your community.
To volunteer, what do you need?
If you own or have regular access to a safe, reliable vehicle, then you’re already on the road to volunteering. But you’ll also need:
- A good driving record
- A current, valid driver’s license
- Proof of adequate automobile insurance
- Completion of the American Cancer Society training courses
- Regular access to a computer, laptop, smart phone or tablet computer
- Schedule availability, typically Monday-Friday
