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.

Rental vehicles are provided for the move, and movers who have a valid driver’s license are welcome to register as drivers.


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. With our flexible volunteering model, you can sign up to volunteer on moves according to your availability. Training hosted by professional movers to review proper lifting techniques is hosted every several months, in addition to truck driving lessons.

Responsibilities and Accountabilities
- Meet other movers at the arranged time and place
- Work under the direction of a volunteer Lead Mover and Move Coordinator, and maintain communication with the Lead Mover and all other movers during move

- Awareness of appropriate boundaries, compassion fatigue, and self-care an asset
- Experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds
- No previous education is required
- An interest in the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) sector is an asset

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.

Role Details

- You’ll receive training in preparation for your role and have access to ongoing training opportunities.
