Southern REAP & Drive My Life are calling for Volunteer Driving Mentors for the Central / Western Southland, Eastern Southland and Invercargill / Bluff areas.
This isn’t about being a driving instructor — it’s about being a supportive coach and guide. Someone who listens, encourages, and helps people take that life-changing step of getting their Restricted or Full licence.
For many in our community, a licence isn’t just about driving. It’s about:
🌟 Gaining independence
🌟 Opening doors to jobs and education
🌟 Staying connected with whānau
🌟 Building safer roads for everyone
We’ll provide the training vehicle and full training - all you need is a current NZ driver’s licence (held for at least two years), be able to pass a police vet and have a bit of spare time with the desire to make a real difference.
👉 Keen to get involved or learn more? Contact one of our local Co-ordinators below:
