Road To Recovery Driver

The Road To Recovery Volunteer Driver provides people with transportation to and from their cancer‑related medical appointments. Drivers donate their time to help people with cancer get the lifesaving treatments they need.

As a Road to Recovery driver, you can serve your community and help local people, provide support and encouragement, have rewarding one‑to‑one interactions with cancer patients, build relationships and save lives. Road to Recovery offers flexible scheduling – you drive as much or as little as you want, when you want.

Volunteers choose the rides that work best for their schedule. Most rides are scheduled during the weekday between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. The American Cancer Society asks volunteers to commit to a minimum of two rides per month.
