Volunteer with Drive a Senior – Make a Real Difference

Drive a Senior is seeking compassionate volunteers to support older adults in our community. Drive a Senior ATX, Senior Access, and Chariot have recently united as one organization—Drive a Senior—with a shared mission: helping older adults live independently, stay connected, and age in place through volunteer-powered transportation and supportive services.

Choose the opportunities that fit your interests:

Driving seniors to medical appointments, grocery stores, and errands

Assisting with minor home repairs

Providing basic in‑home tech help

You will only see needs closer to you

Use our online scheduling system to select rides and tasks that match your availability—whether you have a few hours each week or just an occasional morning.

Minimal commitment with maximum flexibility

Direct, meaningful one‑on‑one impact

Feel‑good moments that brighten everyone’s day

New friendships and lasting connections

If you’re looking for a rewarding, convenient way to give back, we’d love to have you join us. Help Drive a Senior keep independence rolling for our aging neighbors.

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.
