Opportunity Description:

The Canadian Cancer Society’s Wheels of Hope program is looking for volunteer drivers to help residents of St. John’s.

If you, or someone you know, is looking to fill some time in your day, love to drive and want to support people with cancer, we encourage you to volunteer with Wheels of Hope.

As a volunteer driver, you can give the gift of a ride to people with cancer who need help getting to and from their life-saving cancer treatments and other appointments. Mileage reimbursement or tax receipt is provided.

What are the volunteer requirements?

• Monday to Friday availability. A half day a week or a few days a month ongoing preferably for at least six months. (The program is very flexible—they will work around your holidays and other commitments).
• Valid driver license with three or less demerits and drive a 100% smoke-free vehicle.
• Be willing to undergo a criminal background check and provide references.
