Training new volunteers takes time. As such, we ask that applicants be available to commit to at least 6 months of their time. There is no compensation for driving, however you can keep track of your mileage and submit for a tax receipt each year. If you’re interested in becoming a volunteer driver with us, you can apply to either our Toronto or Waterloo region team.
