Office/Driver Volunteer Application
Membership Reopened
We're excited! We continue to process membership applications for those on our waiting list. Please call the office at 830-315-5377 to put your name on the list. 

The response from the community has been overwhelming with over 180 members joining to date!!  We're actively recruiting additional volunteer drivers to handle the demand, and we're sending out membership packets to those on the waiting list.  We can't handle all of them at once, so we'll be sending them out in batches - please continue to be patient.

If you're not on the list yet, or if you'd like to make a huge difference in someone's life by volunteering to be a driver, please call us!

Kerr♦Konnect is an advance on-call volunteer driver service available to anyone over the age of 18, with an emphasis on 55+ seniors.  The initial operating area is a 10 mile radius from the Kerr County courthouse, which encompasses Ingram, Center Point, a portion of Tierra Linda and the southern portion of Gillespie County, and south to near Quiet Valley Ranch. 
​
Requests for rides are to be made at least 48 hours in advance so our volunteer drivers will have an opportunity to match their schedule to the needs of our riders.  “RideScheduler”, an on-line accessible software system specifically designed for volunteer driver organizations, is the core operational component.  
​
Volunteer drivers are needed.  Each driver must pass criminal background as well as driving record checks.  We will provide training in system operation and expected conduct. In addition to drivers, we are in need of volunteers to work in our office.  Training will be provided for functions that include taking ride requests, inputting information into the RideScheduler program, and other activities to keep our operation efficient and responsive to our clients. 
​
All drivers must have their own automobile insurance, but Kerr♦Konnect provides excess auto liability, personal liability and medical coverage for its drivers. Rides cost $4 for a round trip and $2 for a one way trip.  An annual enrollment fee of $20.00 (which may be paid through donors or other sources if a rider qualifies for assistance) will be charged to offset data input and administrative costs.
       
We have a paid Program Manager and Volunteer Coordinator; all other participants in the program are unpaid volunteers.  
 
Kerr♦Konnect ridership revenue forms only a small portion of its operational expenses. 
Kerr♦Konnect has received several grants and generous donations that have enabled the organization to pay for operational expenses, including rent, utilities, salaries, computers and telephones, the leasing of the ride software, office furniture, material and equipment, developing the organization website, and the printing and distribution of promotional material.
