Able to Serve is seeking caring and dependable Van/Mini-Bus Drivers to support our Day Program serving adults with disabilities. Drivers transport participants to community outings, service projects, recreational activities, and special events throughout the month. This volunteer role is perfect for individuals who enjoy driving, engaging with others, and being part of meaningful experiences that help our participants grow and connect in the community.
The purpose of this role is to provide safe, reliable, and welcoming transportation so participants can actively engage beyond our walls. Transportation plays a key part in fostering independence, life skills development, and meaningful service opportunities. By helping participants get where they need to go, drivers directly support our mission of empowering every individual to live a full and purposeful life.
Safety is the highest priority in this role. Drivers are responsible for operating an Able to Serve van or mini-bus in a safe, attentive, and responsible manner at all times. This includes following all traffic laws, ensuring proper seatbelt use, assisting with safe loading and unloading, and maintaining awareness of participants’ needs throughout the trip.
No CDL is required. However, all drivers must complete a Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) check, background check, and required volunteer training prior to serving. Driving opportunities occur each month, and volunteers can sign up for specific dates and trips that fit their availability. In addition to driving, volunteers may assist staff by supporting participants during outings as needed — offering a helping hand, providing encouragement, and helping ensure a smooth and positive experience for everyone involved.
