The Role

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.

Shelter Movers primarily partners with vehicle rental and car-share companies to rent passenger vehicles, cargo vans and small trucks.

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?

If interested, please complete this online form: https://forms.gle/Cra1QQvCGs7qqTUUA

Do you enjoy chatting over coffee, playing cards, or simply getting to know new people? As a Friendly Visitor, you’ll be matched with a local senior who could use a little extra connection in their life. Whether it’s through a friendly phone call or a short in-person visit, your time and companionship can make a big difference.

This is a wonderful opportunity to build a meaningful one-on-one relationship and offer companionship to someone who may be feeling isolated or lonely.

What You’ll Do:

·        Visit or call your assigned senior “friend” once a week

·        Engage in casual conversation or shared activities (e.g., coffee, board games, card games, etc.)

·        Help foster a sense of community and connection

·        Submit a brief weekly visit or call log to Lake Country Health staff

Time Commitment:

·        1 visit or call per week, approx. 30 minutes

·        Flexible scheduling, based on your and the senior’s availability

Location:

·        By phone or in-person within the Lake Country area

Ideal Volunteer Qualities:

·        Friendly, dependable, and a good listener

·        Comfortable initiating small talk or light conversation

·        Empathetic and patient with older adults

·        Able to maintain confidentiality and professional boundaries

·        Must complete a Vulnerable Sector Criminal Record Check

Why Volunteer as a Friendly Visitor?

·        Make a meaningful difference in someone’s life

·        Build lasting friendships

·        Contribute to a caring, connected community

·        Gain experience working with seniors and community programs

Role Overview:
Are you a safe, friendly driver with a bit of time to spare during the week? As a Volunteer Driver, you'll use your own vehicle to help local seniors get to essential medical appointments, run errands, or attend social outings in Lake Country or Kelowna. Your support provides more than just a ride — it offers connection, independence, and peace of mind.

How It Works:
You let us know when you're available, and we match you with ride requests that fit your schedule. Whether you can commit once a month or once a week, your time makes a real impact.

Time Commitment:

·        Rides take place Monday to Friday, between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM

·        Each trip lasts 1–3 hours, depending on the destination

·        Flexible commitment — volunteer for as few or as many rides as your schedule allows

Your Responsibilities:

·        Drive a senior safely to and from their destination

·        Offer light support and companionship before, during, or after the trip

·        Communicate with Lake Country Health staff and provide basic trip info if needed

What You Need:

·        A friendly, patient, and respectful attitude toward seniors

·        Access to a reliable vehicle in good condition

·        Valid driver’s license and current vehicle insurance with at least $2 million liability

·        Willingness to complete a criminal record check

·        Ability to provide two references, plus copies of your license, insurance, and a driving abstract

Honorarium:
Volunteer Drivers receive a standard honorarium to help offset mileage costs.
