Members of the Board of Directors refer many potential volunteer driver/companions personally.  New volunteers are asked to visit the office and speak with the staff to review their responsibilities before being accepted, and to provide personal references.  We may also check driving records with the Department of Motor Vehicles.

We seek volunteers of any race, religious affiliation, or income status, as long as they can meet the requirements of driver/companions, are responsible, ethical, dependable, and have excellent driving records.

If you are interested in volunteering, please call the I CARE office at 404.377.2273 or link to the volunteer online form.
