Movers and Drivers are the backbone of the organization, as they carry out the mission on the ground by moving clients’ belongings to safety. In a group of 2-7 movers/drivers, guided by a detailed itinerary, volunteers will load/unload the client’s belongings into a vehicle and transport the client to the predetermined location. 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 4-6 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.

Are you interested in supporting our horseback riding programs for children and adults with disabilities? But perhaps you are beyond the frisky stage and need a more sedentary position? Come and join our dedicated and enthusiastic volunteer board of directors! We meet nine months of the year in Charlottetown, and at our AGM in Hunter River. We bring a variety of backgrounds to the board table (no horse experience necessary), but someone with fundraising experience would fit in well. Consistent attendance at board meetings important, and willingness to help on ad hoc committees and other service opportunities. We receive no government funding, so pursue grants from funding agencies, and are fortunate to be well supported by unsolicited donations from the community at large. For a great video of our riders in action, and lots of photos, visit our website at www.thejoyriders.ca and Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/thejoyriderspei.
