Volunteer: Volunteer driver for seniors in Takoma Park
How does it work? Our volunteer coordinator sends out periodic emails to all volunteer drivers with information about current ride requests. If a ride fits your schedule, you “accept” the ride and if it doesn't, you just close out the program. There is never any need to explain why you can't take a ride. What are the requirements for being a volunteer driver? We ask that you: Be a member of the Village of Takoma Park so you are covered by our insurance. Dues are $25.00 a year and can be waived if requested. Village membership is open to all ages! Attend a one-hour on-line orientation about the program Complete an online criminal background and motor vehicle records check. The Village of Takoma Park pays for this and it takes just 5 minutes to complete. Here's the website: www.coeusglobal.com/council_md_villagerides.html. Remember to ask for both the criminal and motor vehicle records check. Provide us with an emergency contact, phone and relationship; your date of birth; and expiration dates of your driver’s license and car insurance. Provide us with your vaccination status. For a glimpse at what it's like to be a driver, and the satisfaction our drivers report, see this short video.Organization: Village Of Takoma Park
