Volunteer Mentor Drivers needed

Are you a parent of a young teenager? Would you like to be ready to teach them to drivewhen they are 16?

 

Have you taught your children to drive and enjoyed the experience so much you’d like to doit again?

 

Are you a fully licensed driver over 21 years old and want to assist young disadvantaged learner drivers with no access to a supervising driver or vehicle gain driving experience? 

 

We are looking for enthusiastic people who could commit 1-2 hours a week to help make a difference to their driving journey. 

 

Becoming a volunteer mentor is a great way to contribute to the community, make a difference and directly help a young person otherwise unable to access education and employment opportunities through supervised driving practice. It also gives you the experience to teach your child when the time comes.

 

The TAC L2P Learner Driver Mentor Program assists 16 to 21 year olds, who have a current Victorian Learner Permit but don’t have access to a supervising driver or vehicle, to obtain the necessary 120 hours of driving experience to obtain their Probationary Licence.

 

If this opportunity appeals to you and you are able to commit an hour or two a week, please contact the L2P Project Officer or visit the website.

 

The Frankston TAC L2P Program is funded by the TAC and local sponsors Lions Club ofFrankston, VACC Auto Apprenticeships, Brotherhood of St Laurence, and Rotary Frankston Peninsula 2.0, and is managed by the Department of Transport and Frankston City Council.
