The Salvation Army offers the opportunity to use your skills and expertise to make a real difference in the lives of people who need help most.The Drive for Life program primarily supports young people aged between16-25 who are overcoming adversity and need support to achieve their driver’s licence.Drive for Life believes all young people should have the opportunity to achieve their goals and reach their full potential. Having a driver’s licence is a key milestone in a young person’s life and helps them move towards independence. Being able to drive gives young people the choice and control necessary to realise their education, employment, and housing goals.

Your role is first and foremost about supporting safe driving: role modelling it, speaking about it, and helping a young person practice and consolidate the driving skills learned with a professional Driving Instructor. As part of this role, you will sit in the car with the young driver and assist in logging the 120 hours of supervised driving required to sit the test.

In addition, you will provide constructive feedback, model respectful communication, patience, and clear boundaries. Volunteer Mentors have a strong ability to demonstrate empathy, consistency, reliability and promote safe and stable relationships.

Volunteers are intrinsic to the success of the program and participant; they will be providing much needed on-going support and mentorship to program participants. To help set volunteers up for success, they will be provided with extensive and necessary training, on-going support and become a valued member of the team. The Salvation Army will also provide a fully equipped vehicle for driving sessions with the young driver.

Volunteering with The Salvation Army is a great opportunity to actively support one of Australia’s largest not-forprofit organisations. It will also help you gain experience, skills and knowledge in a highly supportive environment. At The Salvation Army we care about our volunteers and are dedicated to ensuring your experience is both rewarding and memorable. You can go home every day knowing you’ve contributed to something special.
