The McGovern Foundation has identified the need for a specifically targeted driver mentor program that eliminates all barriers for people to obtain and maintain their driver’s licence.

The Wanderer Driver Mentor Program provides mentoring, practical support, and the necessary resources to those who otherwise would be unable to complete 50 hours of supervised driving.

The Driver Mentor relationship is central to our program; to people in a safe environment, sharing stories, challenges, career and life aspirations, and 50 hours on the road.

The McGovern Foundation aims to create a stream of mentored, mobile, and employable young people to strengthen the workforce and community.
