Driving in your community

Our Volunteer Drivers primarily support children, youth and families in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. We offer a range of driving schedules during the day time, evening and weekends.

As a warm and welcoming member of our team you will:

• Offer on-time door-to-door transportation service for children and youth, including sibling groups
• Follow the rules of the road and ensure you have the appropriate carseats
• Lift babies, small children, car seats and bags

Supporting you, supporting families

Following the initial training, you'll continue to be assisted by our staff who will be available to support you, as required.
