Client Registration form Volunteer as a Driver
Our volunteer drivers are the heart and the backbone of our organization. Those who choose to become volunteer drivers with Urban/Rural Rides are offering much more than a drive – they are offering independence, security, and the ability to remain connected in their community.
If you’re interested in joining Urban/Rural Rides as a volunteer driver, we’d love to hear from you! Drivers must be 21 years old or older, possess a valid New Brunswick driver’s license, have an RCMP background check, possess a registered vehicle (or vehicles) that are clean and presentable with valid safety inspections, possess supplemental insurance that is reimbursed by Urban/Rural Rides (contact us for more details.)
We ask that our volunteers be available a minimum of 4 hours per month. However, none of our drivers are expected to devote long periods to this service or to disrupt their personal schedules. Drivers are community volunteers!
Give us a call at (506) 962-3073 or simply download and fill out the Drivers application form and email it to us at urbanruralrides@gmail.com
