    Description

    Many kids who come to Rock House Kids live in areas prone to crime and other unsafe activities. Our drivers must be able and willing to pick up in inner-city areas and housing projects. We use large passenger vans to pick up and drop off kids each night.

    You will need a current driver’s license to be one of our van drivers. A firm, influential approach is ideal.

    As with our other Rock House Kids volunteers, our drivers share our vision of providing a safe place, in this case, transportation, while being a positive and godly role model for the children.

    Drivers:

    ·Arrive at RHK no later than 4:45 PM for pick-up and finish around 8:30-8:45 PM after drop-offs, Monday through Thursday.

    oDrivers are needed all four nights.

    oWe will work with you to determine the night/nights that work best with your schedule.

    ·If possible, we ask our drivers to plan to come back to RHK between pick-ups and drop-offs just to hang out with the kids. This will help in building trust-based relationships with them.

    All Rock House Kids Volunteers:

    ·Provide a consistent & strong presence for our kids

    ·Build trust-based relationships

    ·Demonstrate a strong faith walk
