Volunteers
Looking to for ways to be involved in the community through helping others?
We need you!
Come and join Stryder’s amazing team of volunteers making a difference as drivers, as social outing assistants, and as office assistants.
You will be helping make things happen for our special community of clients – people, often seniors living independently, who may be unable to drive, or to access public transport for important medical appointments, shopping, or just socialising.
Here’s how you can help…
Volunteer Driver
Driving for Stryder is rewarding and interesting, and our clients really appreciate you spending time with them as you head to and from their medical or everyday appointments in one of our cars or vans. If you have an LR licence you may be interested in driving our minibus for social or shopping trips. You can choose to be with us on one or several days a week.
Social Outing Assistants
Being a social outing assistant is a great job. Once or twice a week you’ll be joining clients on minibus outings, assisting them from their front door and onto the bus. Once everyone is on board and heading out for the day, it’s a chance to chat and share stories with clients. At the lunch venue, some may need a hand carrying meals or navigating steps or ramps. Then, back home at the end of the outing, where some clients may appreciate you helping them to their front door. It’s a nice day out, and you really are helping others. We cover the cost of your lunch and entrance fees to attractions.
