Public Transport Travel Mentor
Studio Village Community CentreA Travel Mentors role is to assist seniors who want to use public transport, but are uncomfortable or unsure of how to. The role is to help guide the participant on their first initial trip (or more if required) in order to provide information and confidence to the senior. Training and uniform will be provided.
You are able to be involved in the initial interview with the senior beforehand so you can get to know and feel comfortable with each other. The trip could be strictly for training, or it could be an appointment that the senior needs to attend.
Volunteers will need to be good with people, particularly the aged, and have a genuine desire to help make their travel an enjoyable experience.
