Become a Volunteer Driver or a Rider with CHAIway My Way Today
CHAI has officially entered the second phase of its transportation program, CHAIway. After successfully restarting the program in 2023 with CHAIway On The Go —which provides subsidized Uber and Lyft rides for older adults—we’re now rolling out CHAIway My Way, which provides an opportunity for volunteer drivers to help their older neighbors remain independent as they age in our northwest community. CHAIway My Way volunteers provide door-to-door rides for older adults to get to essential appointments, errands, and social visits. It is a flexible, fulfilling volunteer opportunity that can make a real difference in the lives of older adults. On August 5, we hit an exciting milestone: our first CHAIway My Way volunteer, Mr. H, completed a ride for a resident headed to a medical appointment. It was a simple act that meant a lot to Mr. H and his rider. We are actively recruiting volunteers to join this growing effort. If you’re 25 or older and have a clean driving record and a few hours per week to give back, we’d love to hear from you! And we’re actively enrolling riders, too. To learn more or get involved, contact Jeff Arenberg, Program Manager, at 410-500-5498, or visit our website.
