Volunteers needed for Refugee Driver Training
"I can't forget last year's lockdown. It was hard to find someone to take me to buy food and supplies." - message from a single mother who got restricted licence through the Open Road Refugee Driver Training Programme
A big THANK YOU again to all our volunteer mentors who made a huge difference helping our learners to be test ready. It means a lot for them to gain independence and stay mobile for essential trips through lockdown and beyond.
We welcome new volunteer driver mentors as we gear to safely resume driving sessions for our refugee whānau at level 2. Check out resources drive.govt.nz... and know more about being a mentor here www.openroad.org.nz...

This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.
Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.
