You can make a meaningful difference on your schedule by driving cancer patients who lack reliable transportation to their lifesaving treatment.
As a Road To Recovery volunteer driver, you'll provide safe transportation so patients can keep their treatment schedules and focus on healing. Rides are requested in advance for appointments primarily Monday–Friday. Patients request rides at least a day in advance, usually several days/week.
Volunteers are encouraged to drive the patient to and from the appointment, but rides are listed as one-way segments. When you drive both legs, the time during the appointment is yours (run errands, grab coffee, work, or wait in a main lobby).Interested volunteers complete short online training and a background check. Volunteers review available rides via an online scheduling tool.
Volunteer drivers must:
- Be age 18–84
- Have a valid driver’s license and safe driving record
- Use a reliable, insured vehicle
- Pass background and motor vehicle record checks
- Complete online training and use our online ride scheduling tool
We would love your help! Connect here &/or check out cancer.org/drive for FAQs and to get started on training.
- Look for cancer.org email if you express interest.
