What's the time commitment?

Typically, our rides are 5 hours from pick up to drop off and are usually from 10am – 3pm. However, the time can be adjusted to fit your needs.

What are the volunteer categories?

EARTH

Working with and/or for the environment. Working with your hands to build, paint, garden, city clean ups, etc.

PEOPLE

Working for a cause benefiting people in general. Soup kitchen, shelters, children, etc.

ANIMALS

Ya know, helping the four-legged types. Dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, etc.

Are there age requirements to ride the bus?

The Do Good Bus Ride is for all ages, but sometimes the volunteer locations we visit will have age requirements. Depending on the cause, sometimes a signed waiver from a parent will work.

What should I wear?

We're low-key! BE YOU. Depending on the volunteer location and the work to be done, we'll provide direction ahead of the Ride. We always suggest bringing layers and wearing closed-toed shoes. If your group has your own swag and everyone wants to gear up, do that!

What should I bring?

You won’t need much. Any personal items you do bring can be left on the bus and will be secured by one of our staff members.

Why are the locations a secret? Can you give me a hint?

Maybe a small one.

Everyone likes a little mystery, right?

We keep our Rides a secret to add an element of fun, but also to avoid any pre-conceived ideas or opinions about the causes we visit. This allows volunteers to show up with an open mind ready to help.

We try to stick to this model, but it’s not a requirement. We’re happy to work with you to find the right type of cause for your group and you can keep it a secret from your guests. That is, if you can keep a secret. :)

Does the cost of the Ride include a donation to the cause we visit?

Yes! A percentage of your fee goes directly to the cause you visit. Do Good Bus is also a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and the fee you pay is a donation.

Does volunteering with Do Good Bus qualify for student required volunteer hours?

Yes! We are more than happy to sign off on volunteer hours for any school/work requirements.
