Volunteer Opportunity with Drive a Senior – Make a Difference in a Senior’s Life!

Drive a Senior is looking for caring, compassionate volunteers who want to make a real impact in the lives of older adults in our community.

Recently, Drive a Senior ATX, Senior Access, and Chariot—three long-time sister agencies—joined forces to become one united organization: Drive a Senior. Together, our mission is to empower older adults to live independently, prevent social isolation, and age in place by providing accessible, volunteer-driven transportation and supportive services.

How You Can Help

As a volunteer, you can choose from a variety of meaningful opportunities, including:

Flexible & Easy to Get Involved

We understand your time is valuable! With our online scheduling system, you can assign yourself rides and tasks that fit your availability—whether you have a few hours a week or just an occasional morning.

Teens ages 13-18: DO YOU NEED VOLUNTEER HOURS?  Senior Access has a Teen Van Volunteer Program Monday-Thursday from about 8:45-2:00. Volunteers assist the van driver by helping senior clients get into and out of our van, carry groceries, and talk to the van riders. Serve, laugh and learn with seniors this summer! Select one day a week or days you are available. Training provided. Homeschool families welcome. Volunteer on days school is out or during the summer months. We are closed during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, but there are 2 special shopping days on Dec 27 and Dec 28. Contact Sherrie Rose at sherrie@senioraccesstx.org for questions. 

What does it mean to be a volunteer with Senior Access? It means changing someone's life. It means making a difference in ways that impact health and emotional well-being. It means befriending the lonely and the often overlooked segment of our society. And it may even impact you!

What would you do if you could no longer drive? Our clients do not drive and rely on others to be able to leave their homes and go to appointments, get groceries, and other errands.

Volunteer drivers help individuals 60 and older to remain independent and age in their own homes. Be a volunteer driver and help your senior neighbors get to doctor appointments, grocery stores, libraries, beauty salons, etc. Volunteers also needed to complete handyman tasks, and help with light yard work. Providing transportation also helps relieve loneliness and isolation. Be a driver and a friend!

Schedule around your time using our web-based platform. Family-friendly...bring your children or grandchildren, and is flexible to work with your schedule. Volunteers determine where and how far they want to drive.

Our clients live in Round Rock, Hutto, Pflugerville, East Austin, and Manor, but you can choose where to drive.

Volunteer and change a life. The life you change just might be yours.
