Learner Driver Mentor Volunteer - Coffs Harbour

Australian Red Cross
Logo for Australian Red Cross
  • Ongoing position
  • Completely flexible time commitment – volunteer anytime that suits you
  • Join the World’s largest humanitarian network

The program

The Learner Driver Mentor Program supports new drivers to become licenced by allowing them use of a vehicle for on-road practice while a volunteer mentor supervises them. This program is designed to assist learners who may not have ready access to a suitable supervising driver but would like to gain their licence for employment and social inclusion reasons. The program may support the learner in logging some or all of the required practice hours.

The opportunity

This position is all about supervising and mentoring learner drivers (that is: people on their Ls). Once you have been matched up with a leaner, you can arrange suitable times to go out driving with them. You may also be able to assist with some of the admininistration required for obtaining a licence - completing forms etc.

The impact

Can be massive.

In regional NSW a driver’s licence allows you to fully participate in the community. Without one life is really difficult.

It could mean a job, getting the kids to school or taking their mum shopping. Regardless of their individual circumstance, all participants in the program benefit immensely from the freedom and opportunity of a driver’s licence.
