Help individuals obtain driver’s licenses

The lack of a driver’s license inhibits independence and may prevent individuals from accessing employment opportunities, health care, and other essential aspects of life.

Find local programs that assist community members with accessing a driver's license to see if they are interested in having you share your story with program participants.

To get started:

  1. Identify a nonprofit or government entity that works in this area and inquire about their volunteer needs. If you have trouble identifying locations that focus on this, calling 2-1-1 (a community information and referral service) may lead to information on local programs.

  2. Advocate for more equitable processes, as license requirements may inadvertently and disproportionately hinder those below the NPPS from obtaining a license.
