The Cockburn RYDE Program is looking for driving mentors to assist young people to obtain a driver licence by providing an opportunity to complete their required supervised driving with a volunteer Driving Mentor.

The Cockburn RYDE Program provides young people with the opportunity to complete their 50 hours of required supervised driving with a volunteer Driving Mentor. Many young people find it difficult to complete the 50 hours because they haven’t got access to an appropriate vehicle or a suitable person to spend those hours in the passenger seat. The Cockburn RYDE Program will operate from the Cockburn Youth Centre with a customised vehicle for sessions.
