John Howard Society of Hamilton, Burlington & Area Volunteer Opportunity

The John Howard Society of Hamilton, Burlington & Area is seeking volunteer drivers for the Transportation Program.

The Transportation Program supports family members and loved ones of incarcerated individuals to visit Federal institutions in the Kingston and Warkworth areas.

Volunteers must possess a valid Ontario driver’s license (class G), a clean driver’s abstract and be willing to obtain a criminal reference check.

Volunteers must demonstrate an awareness of and respect for passenger confidentiality.

Volunteers must agree to a minimum one year commitment.
