    We also invite you to join our team as a volunteer! Give the gift of your time and help a young learner gain confidence behind the wheel. Give an hour a week to help a new migrant learn English. Donate one hour a month to help bring needed supplies to a family in isolation. There are lots of ways to support our community of service users and become a permanent member of the MAT Community!

    Again, thank you for supporting our mahi and our diverse communities!

    With $60 you can help empower one learner driver with an in-car driving session... $40 will help a nervous driver safely train on our driving simulator... $20 can cover petrol cost of a refugee-background learner going on test day!

    More than your dollars, we want you on our team. Migrant Action Trust and our Puketapapa Community Driving School (PCDS), are people powered. Our dedicated driving instructors, volunteer mentors and compassionate supporters have kept us going to date. We are crowdfunding and expanding our virtual team of supporters in this COVID-climate because now more than ever our migrant communities need us.

    Our community driving programmes help voluntary and forced migrants, single parents, elderlies, and youth improve their driving skills and knowledge in a supportive environment. More importantly the training and attainment of an NZ licence opens doors for them to reach their goals.

    Please give a little to help a lot of folks through these challenging times. Join our online team of supporters by sharing this campaign with your networks. Learn more about us at www.migrantactiontrust.org.
