This volunteer opportunity is for individuals aged 21 and over.
Do you love the elderly? Have a valid driver's license, car insurance, and access to a vehicle?
Use your car to make a crucial impact with your volunteer service. Volunteer drivers pick up seniors and drive them to and from doctor appointments. This opportunity is very flexible; only accept assignments that work for your schedule and location. Our transportation drivers are not asked to handle wheelchairs as we understand special transportation is needed for that.
Transportation is an enormous issue for many seniors. Many seniors cannot pick up their prescriptions, get their groceries, or get to important medical appointments because they no longer drive and may not have anyone who can drive them to their destination. Please accept the call to provide tangible help as a driver.
Mileage reimbursement is available.
Those 21 and older may volunteer however, if you are 55 or older, join the AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program) to make your service count on a national scale and to help Senior Services Associates.
Are you looking to volunteer in Kendall County, Southern Kane County, or both? Please help our seniors get to crucial appointments.
Contact Rebecca Koss (rkoss@seniorservicesassoc.org), AmeriCorps RSVP Coordinator, at 630-897-4035.
