    Descrição

    Be a Highway Hero - drive survivors of domestic violence to safety. Flexible hours!

    Are you DRIVEN to serve your community? Uplift your fellow neighbors from all over the DFW metroplex as a Volunteer Driver with Families to Freedom!

    1 in 3 Texans will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. Join us on our mission to help victims of domestic violence become survivors. Be someone's hero by driving them to safety after abuse.

    We get calls for service everyday from survivors trying to restart life after abuse and violence, but we need more volunteer drivers to keep up with the demand. We need a dedicated person like you!

    Assist victims making their break from abuser by driving them to safety!

    We ONLY allow our volunteers to pick-up survivors in a safe public place such as a police station, retail shop, shelter, hospital, hotel lobby or kids' school. Volunteer safety is our #1 priority. There is no contact with an abuser.

    You choose the distance you're willing to travel - whether across the metroplex or across North Texas - and Families to Freedom handles the rest. You just need to be 21+, have a good driving record, pass a background check, and possess a servant's heart to help.

    Transporting a survivor traveling with children? We provide and train for easy car seat installation. Worried about the cost of gas & tolls? We reimburse for that. Don't want to use your personal car? Use one of ours! Not available every day? No worries - decline any drive with no hard feelings from us.

    Weekday daytime availability is most needed!

    Start the process at FamiliestoFreedom.org/Volunteer.php

    Volunteer orientation typically takes 60-90 minutes. Driver training is about 3 hours total. Orientation and training is conducted in-person at our Fort Worth or Dallas offices.

    For more details or answers to specific questions, call us at 972-885-7020. Our phone lines are open Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm.
