    Description

    One of the biggest obstacles to participation in activities outside of school for many youth is transportation. To address this for our participants, the StrongHER TogetHER Driver Pool assists youth with transportation needs to our program's activities and/or extracurricular learning activities that are funded through our program. We typically try to maintain a pool of about five drivers. When opportunities arise to assist the students, we send out a group text with the details to see who is available to help. Priority is given to drivers who have been licensed for 3+ years.

    Drivers in the pool must complete a background check, a DMV check, and provide proof of a valid license and insurance information. This is a paid position with a time commitment of ~6-10 hours per month. We are posting this as an urgent need as we typically have 5 people in our driver pool, however many have recently moved or graduated, leaving us with vacancies as we enter the school year. Thank you for considering if this opportunity is a fit for you!
