Volunteer Mentors Needed for Refugees to Learn to Drive

Amie Maga from Migrant Action Trust

Volunteers Needed to Teach Former Refugees to Drive

It's music to our ears whenever our refugee background learners share that they got full-time job after getting their licence. Can you help us help more beginner drivers to pass their practical driving tests?

Those who don't have a driver's licence have extra challenges: simply getting around, attending job interviews, appointments or taking children to school.

Supporting a former refugee to learn to drive is a practical way of helping them settle in their new country.

We need volunteer mentors to support new learners for August-December 2020 intake.

As a volunteer, you will be given full training and the use of a dual-controlled car. Email expression of interest to openroad.migrantaction@gmail.com or call Amie - 021 028 487 80
