Without a vehicle and often with limited public transit options, refugees and immigrants who recently arrived in America experience significant transportation challenges. Step into this gap and become a Transportation Assistant, providing refugees and immigrants rides to important classes, trainings, interviews, and appointments!
As a Transportation Assistant, you’ll also have the opportunity to be the first person to greet refugees at the airport after a long journey, welcome them to America, and provide transportation to their new home. Volunteers help as often as their schedule allows-typically ranging from multiple times a week to a few times a year.
Transportation needs are often on weekdays during normal work hours (though evening needs also exist), so having daytime availability is ideal. Training is provided.
