Drivers transport seniors and adults with disabilities to and from medical or service agency appointments.
General duties include:
- Logging the client appointment details as advised by a scheduling coordinator
- Contacting clients the day before their appointment to verify desired pickup time and destination addresses
- Transporting the client to and from their medical or service appointment; target destinations are generally within a 20 mile radius of downtown Gaithersburg
Requirements for Volunteer Drivers
Our volunteer drivers:
- Must be 21 years of age or older
- Must have an active US driver’s license in good standing (a chauffeur’s license is not required)
- Since drivers will use their own vehicles for client appointments, your vehicle must be registered in Maryland, and have vehicle insurance with personal auto liability limits of at least $30,000/$60,000, the Maryland minimum.
- A background and MVA (Motor Vehicle Administration) check is required. This is done online and takes about 5 minutes to complete
Providing even one ride a month is a tremendous help!
