About the McGovern Foundation

The McGovern Foundation is dedicated to breaking down barriers that prevent individuals from obtaining and maintaining their driver’s licence. Through our targeted Wanderer Driver Mentor Program, we provide tailored mentoring, practical support, and essential resources to help participants complete the required 50 hours of supervised driving—empowering those who would otherwise miss out on opportunities for education, training, employment, and community participation.

Our Mission

Provide mentoring and supervised driving to people that do not have the means to obtain a driver’s licence. This in turn removes barriers, which provides opportunities for education, training, employment, and social participation.

Our Values

Integrity

Equity

Making a difference

A sense of belonging
