Movers and Drivers are at the heart of Shelter Movers’ mission, helping individuals and families safely transition away from violence and abuse. Working in teams of 3-6 volunteers and guided by a detailed move itinerary, Movers and Drivers carefully load, transport, and unload clients’ belongings at a secure destination.
This role is ideal for people who want to make a meaningful, hands-on impact in their community. Moves typically last between 4-6 hours, beginning with vehicle pick-up and ending once the client’s belongings have been safely delivered. Depending on the circumstances, moves may be supported by local police, security personnel, or proceed without an escort. Travel may take place within the city or to surrounding areas, with specific details provided before each move.
Our flexible volunteer model allows you to sign up for moves that fit your schedule, making it easy to contribute when you’re available.
No driver’s license is required to volunteer as a Mover. However, volunteers with a valid driver’s license are encouraged to register as Drivers, as there is an ongoing need for volunteers who can operate vehicles during moves. Drivers will be asked to provide a copy of their driver’s license and drivers abstract as part of the onboarding process. Shelter Movers works with vehicle rental and car-share partners to provide passenger vehicles, cargo vans, and small trucks for all moves.
