Refugee Driver Training Mentors
Hutt
ChangeMakers Resettlement Forum is a grassroots NGO that walks alongside refugee background communities in the greater Wellington region, working towards a vision of New Zealanders from refugee backgrounds participating fully in life in Aotearoa New Zealand. For many former refugees, gaining a driver's licence is a critical step towards employment, independence, and community participation.
This volunteer opportunity involves mentoring and supporting former refugees in Lower Hutt to develop their driving skills, build confidence behind the wheel, and work towards obtaining their licence. Volunteer mentors must be aged 21 or over, have held a full New Zealand licence for at least two years, and bring patience, cultural curiosity, and a warm, encouraging manner. The time commitment is flexible and can be arranged with the programme coordinator.
What you'll bring:
• Full New Zealand driver's licence held for two or more years
• Age 21 or over
• Patient and confident driver
You might be a great fit if you are:
• Patient, friendly, and encouraging
• Culturally curious and open to meeting people from diverse backgrounds
• Reliable and flexible
