Transportation Coordinator

Join us in our mission to provide life‑changing experiences that enhance independence and self‑esteem for children and adults with disabilities!

As a Transportation Coordinator, you’ll help ensure campers, staff, volunteers, and program partners get where they need to go safely and efficiently. You’ll coordinate transportation plans, communicate with families and staff, organize vehicles and drivers, and provide hands‑on support for trips and transportation needs across True Friends camp locations.

This is an active, fast‑paced role for someone who is organized, dependable, comfortable driving, and enjoys working with people.
