Volunteer
Do you want to make a difference in the lives of seniors?
All pilots affiliated with Medicine Hat CWA will receive training so that the organization, passengers & families, and investors feel confident and proud to be part of a quality program. We will provide all the training you need.
Our trishaws are battery-powered with electric pedal assist.
Volunteering can be done during daytime or early evening on weekdays, and weekends. You get to book your own schedule based on your individual availability.
What is next?
If you are considering becoming a CWA volunteer pilot, please email CWAmedhat@gmail.com to request an application package. (Training sessions are scheduled periodically throughout the year.)
Volunteers need to:
Attend classroom training (approximately 2.5 hours) and read through the CWA Medicine Hat Handbook. Education is provided on using the booking/scheduling system/ride logging and communication (phone numbers, incident management and reporting), and much much more.
Attend a 1-2 hour training session which includes: trishaw handling skills (mounting/dismounting, starting, stopping, shifting, turning and cornering), riding safety in traffic, navigating obstacles, basic trishaw prep and maintenance, etc.
Provide a clean Criminal Record Check
