Driver Mentor – Wanderer Program - Kalgoorlie/Boulder

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

The Wanderer Driver Mentor Program provides mentoring, practical support, and essential resources to individuals who would otherwise be unable to complete the required 50 hours of supervised driving or obtain their licence.

At the heart of our program is the Driver Mentor relationship, building trust and connection in a safe environment while sharing stories, challenges, and aspirations.

We see a world where one achievement creates generational change.
