Village in the Ville
Volunteer with Village in the Ville to help older adults in the Clintonville, Beechwold, and University District areas get to and from appointments, get groceries, and the like.
Though many of our older neighbors no longer drive themselves, they still have plenty of places to go. If you're someone who enjoys driving and wants to make a difference in your community, then this volunteer opportunity is for you!
By lending a ride, you will not only help an older adult get where they need to go safely, but get to know someone you havent met yet. So, take your time, have some fun, break down some barriers and foster a better community today!!
To become a freewheelin driver, all you need is:
A Valid Driver's License
Proof of Driver's Insurance
To Be at Least 25 Years Old
Once you've become a community driver, you'll have access to our volunteer portal, where you can sign up to give rides to older adults in the Clintonville, Beechwold, and University District areas. And for every mile you drive, we'll reimburse you $0.67. Incidentally, if anything were to happen on your drive, you'd be protected under our insurance plan.
Trips usually take 1 to 3 hours. You arent required to stay for the whole time. You can choose to drop off and pick up, running your own errands in the meantime.
If you have any questions, please contact Timna Haines at Timna.haines@clintonvillecrc.org or (614) 404-1521. You can also visit our website at www.villageintheville.org to learn more!
