Volunteer with us!
Volunteer driving mentors are intrinsic to the success of the Drive For Life program. They provide on-going support and mentorship to program participants.
The primary role is to help the learner reach their 120 hours of supervised driving. As a mentor you will reinforce safe driving skills and ensure all road rules and regulations are followed. However, the role of a mentor is also about role modeling, respectful communication, patience and setting clear boundaries.
