FAMILY PROMISE NEEDS VAN DRIVER

The Van Driver(s) is a critical component of Family Promise.  This person or persons will meet the families at the hosting congregation every morning and at the Day Center in the evenings.  Sunday is the exception where guests are transported to the congregations at 12:30 p.m.  The Van driver may be asked to remain at the Day Center until the Director arrives in the morning.  The relationships that the Van Driver(s) develops with the family members can play critical roles in their success in life transformation.  The role may be held by several persons with a coordinator working the schedule.  The role may be all volunteer or may be contracted.  Van drivers (and all Day Center Volunteers) have background checks.
