Volunteer Drivers Wanted

Looking to connect with members of your community? Can you spare a few hours a month to help a senior get to an appointment, community centre or the grocery store?

Lack of transportation options is often cited as the number one issue contributing to isolation. We’re looking for volunteers to help seniors remain active in their community, by helping them get around. No car, no problem!

• Flexible scheduling

• Reimbursement for mileage expenses or fully covered cost of Modo carshare booking during volunteer shift

• Additional insurance coverage

• Opportunity to meet new people and connect with others in your community

• Opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to lives of seniors

• Opportunity to explore your community

• Perks and appreciation
