Volunteer Driver - DAV Transportation Network

Share your talents and gain meaningful experiences while serving those who have served.Disabled American Veterans (DAV) operates a fleet of vehicles around the country to provide free transportation to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical facilities for injured and ill veterans. DAV stepped in to help veterans get the care they need when the federal government terminated its program that helped many of them pay for transportation to and from medical facilities. The vehicles are driven by volunteers, and the rides are coordinated by Hospital Service Coordinators (HSC) around the country.The impact the DAV Transportation Network makes on the veteran community cannot be overstated. Many veterans, for a variety of reasons, would not be able to access their much-needed medical appointments without this service. The effect that volunteers who comprise the Transportation Network have on veterans and families in their local communities is tremendous.DAV Volunteer Drivers play an important part in our efforts to assist injured and ill veterans. They are the front line for the DAV Transportation Network, by driving veterans to and from their VA medical appointments. The DAV Transportation Network is the largest program of its kind for veterans in the nation. Without this program, many veterans may have no way to access their health care.DutiesReport to the Voluntary Service Department and DAV personnel.Drive veterans to their healthcare appointments at VA healthcare systems.Coordinate with veteran passengers on where to meet and the time of their departure to their healthcare appointment.Return veterans to their original pick-up location after their health care appointment.Driving LocationsWhile there are many DAV Transportation Networks all over the Nation including
