Opportunity Details

Medical Appointment Driver - Yonkers

TRA is a collaborative not-for-profit organization empowering older adults and adults with a vision-impairment to be engaged in their communities and live to their fullest potential.

TRA Volunteer Drivers provide older adults in their communities with a service that allows them to live independent, healthy, and satisfying lives. Volunteers can choose flexible schedules and provide as few or as many rides as they'd like. Great benefits too! Bilingual volunteers, especially those who can speak Spanish, are strongly encouraged to apply. Even one or two rides a month will make a difference!

Volunteer driver requirements:

  • Be fully vaccinated (including booster) for COVID-19
  • Have a valid driver's license and auto insurance
  • Be over 21 years old with two years driving experience
  • Take a criminal history and background check (no cost to volunteer)
  • Own a dependable vehicle
  • Follow all safety protocol (will receive an annual orientation Safety-In-Service)

Volunteer benefits:

  • Supplemental auto liability and volunteer liability insurances (these supplement the volunteer's own personal policies)
  • Mileage reimbursement
  • Reimbursement for AARP online or in-person Defensive Driving class after 50 hours of driving for TRA
  • TRA volunteer and company events and rewards

COVID-19 guidance:
For everyone's safety, all volunteers must be fully vaccinated and all volunteer drivers and riders are required to wear masks. The Director of Volunteers will provide the most up-to-date information on COVID precautions as needed.
