| Why you might want to consider taking this opportunity: | This is a great opportunity for someone who does not want to commit to more than an hour or 2 a day, 1 - 5 days a week. Clients in our community have limited access to transportation and therefore having a volunteer drive them to a community program is often the only way they are able to get to and from the program. Monthly KM reimbursement is paid out to each Volunteer at $0.42/km. |
