We have eight young people involved in the program. Already we have had one pass their driving test, with another one sitting their driving test this week.
The feedback from the mentors is positive, and the young people very much appreciate the service.
“having the opportunity to obtain our licence improves our prospects in obtaining a job,” said one of the learners.
In other volunteer opportunities, we are currently looking for people to connect with older residents of Warrigal at Bundanoon.
Warrigal is seeking volunteers to assist with one-on-one visits to residents on a regular basis.
Those in the role would simply engage in conversation, read and write letters, and generally reduce the risk of isolation and loneliness.

*************************
The volunteer can work as many hours as desired although this cannot exceed 16 hours per week.
The relevant staff at Warrigal will provide instructions and guidance to volunteers.
The volunteer will require a strong commitment to working with older people, the ability to work as part of a team and the ability to apply the Warrigal Code of Conduct and the values of integrity, respect, compassion and innovation.
