• Act as a liaison with transportation drivers, sometimes needing to signal them in and communicate who they are picking up.
• Support members with the use of the elevator and navigating the entrance and exit, always with a friendly smile and encouraging words.
• Help instill confidence in our members, aiding them in becoming more comfortable and independent with their transportation needs over time.

• Compassionate and patient, with excellent interpersonal skills.
• Able to commit a few hours in the morning and/or afternoon, with flexibility around the exact times.
