Transportation is essential for all of our lives. Mobility is essential, and there is more demand than ever to help Vermonters get to medical appointments and fulfill other critical necessities such as access to food and other services in a cost-effective manner. The answer? You and your vehicle. Become a Volunteer Community Driver with GMT and be a force for positive change in the lives of your neighbors.
In addition to the satisfaction you’ll get for giving back to your community, you will receive reimbursement at the current IRS rate ($0.70/mile) which does not count as income and will not impact any eligibility for benefits you might receive (Social Security, etc.).
How it works:
Most trips are centered on medical needs, providing access to appointments like dialysis, radiation treatment, physical therapy, and more. You may also provide rides to senior centers, affordable food locations, counseling, prevention treatment, or various human services programs. While most appointments are local, others can be as far as Dartmouth or Boston. You set your schedule and determine the range of transportation service you can provide. Any and all contributions of your time are accepted with deep gratitude from GMT and from the people we serve.
To ensure the safety and reliability of volunteers, there are a few simple steps to become a Volunteer Community Driver, including a thorough background check and verification of a valid driver's license and auto insurance.
Please complete an initial application with your contact information, and GMT staff will reach out to discuss your interest and availability, and information necessary for the background check process.
Thank you for considering donating the gift of your time to benefit your neighbors across our region.
