The Role
Movers and Drivers are the backbone of the organization, as they carry out the mission on the ground by moving clients’ belongings to safety.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to make a significant impact through volunteering their time in a hands-on capacity for small chunks of time. The duration of each move varies, with an average of about 4 hours long from the vehicle rental pick-up time. Each move will be characterized based on the risk level and accordingly be escorted by local police, security guards, or neither. Our moves will often entail driving within and sometimes outside of the city. Further information will be shared with volunteers on a per-move basis.

Movers who have a valid driver’s license are welcome to register as drivers as we always need additional volunteers who can drive on moves. If you are interested in being a driver, you will be asked to provide a scanned copy of your driver’s license. Shelter Movers primarily partners with vehicle rental and car-share companies to rent passenger vehicles, cargo vans and small trucks.

We value individuals with a passion for the welfare of our seniors and an innate desire to do good. This role will provide you with the opportunity to support seniors’ care, expand your network, gain experience in governance and leadership, and contribute to your community.


We are prioritizing the recruitment of new Board members with skills and experience in health care, marketing, fundraising, legal and property development.


While we prefer that Board members have previous experience in governance, we recognize that serving on a non-profit Board can be a wonderful learning experience. We will provide governance and other relevant training and ongoing educational opportunities. Plus, you get to work with a great community of people with a wealth of experience!

Volunteers, known as Pilots, are the heartbeat of our organization. They are the public face of VCWAS who provide the trishaw rides to seniors and their families, connect with the community, and represent the organization while they're out on the bike lanes of Vancouver. All Pilots must pass a Criminal Record Check, be physically able to ride a bicycle, and be comfortable independently and professionally interacting with seniors and other members of the public.

We ask for a minimum requirement of 1 shift per week (approximately 3 hours) from our Pilots between the months of May to October, understanding that there may be some weeks during that period while you are away and unable to ride. Our passengers and partner organizations value relationships and the consistency of our Pilots directly corresponds to the quality of the rides we provide. Prospective Pilots who are available for shifts on weekdays between 9am - 5pm, when a majority of our rides occur, will be prioritized.

During the months of February, March and April, all new Pilots will be required to attend up to approximately 15 total hours of training and ride time to learn how to operate the trishaws and support seniors, as well as complete a criminal record check. Are you available during these months for training?
