Volunteering Opportunities | Ride Connection

Every day our volunteers make a huge difference in the lives of people in our community. If you enjoy giving your time to help others and believe transportation is a basic human right, we want to hear from you!

There are many ways to pitch in at Ride Connection:

Driver

Our customers rely on us to get to medical appointments, the grocery store, community centers, volunteer positions and more. You can help get them there by driving your own vehicle or one of ours. Learn more about driving for us.

Ride Ambassador

If you’re experienced using the local bus and light rail system, you could show people who are new to transit how to become more comfortable by leading older adults on group trips to places like museums, galleries and events. Learn more about being a Ride Ambassador.

Mission Support

We could always use help with office work, on committees, or with advocacy and advisory councils. Volunteer to lend us a hand at NE 99th and Glisan or our other offices around the tri-county area. Find out more about opportunities to support our mission in and around the office.

You help those of us to get to doctors and many other areas of our lives. The wonderful volunteers you have…they are so so pleasant! - Ann, Rider since 2011

You’re lifesavers! When you have special needs kids and you work and live out in the middle of nowhere it is very difficult. We don’t know what we’d do without you. - Diane, Rider since 2011

Every week I happily look forward to my driving days. I help people who are sick, the elderly, disabled, visiting and befriending people who would otherwise be shut-in by providing a safe ride for persons who are no longer able to be safe drivers - Beth, Volunteer Driver since 2009
