Volunteer Jobs
Righteous Rides is fueled by the dedicated service of our volunteers. No matter what your commitment level, there is a place for you!
Automotive Detailing
We want missionaries to have a van that is clean and feels new (“in a manner worthy of God”). A key to that is making sure our vans are spotless. Detailing our vans is a critical job to help the missionaries feel blessed. This is one of our most important jobs and volunteers are needed at every hub to keep the fleet looking like new.
Goodie Bag Preparation
We love to show love to the missionary families through our “Goodie Bag” ministry. Every hub at Righteous Rides needs people supporting this vital ministry!
Office Administration
There is a lot of administration work in supporting hundreds of vans and missionary families driving 3 million miles every year. While our main offices are in St Louis, many of our administrative duties can be done over the internet from anywhere in the country. There are a variety of tasks that can be tailored to fit the volunteer’s availability.
Automotive Repair & Maintenance
There is always a lot of automotive repair work. In St. Louis, we have a shop where tasks requiring a wide variety of skills are performed, At the other hubs, minor repairs and routine maintenance items are done by volunteers or coordinated by volunteers at local repair shops.
Missionary Hospitality
Every hub has a team of volunteers that assists in showing hospitality to the missionary families when they pick up and drop off their vans. You can be a part of that team to ensure that the van release and return experiences are encouraging for the missionaries.
Event Support
There are frequent events around Righteous Rides. Help is always needed from people with the gift of hospitality who are willing to help make the events memorable and God honoring.
World Brew Coffee Shop
In 2022 we are opening a Coffee Shop at our headquarters outside of St Louis. The coffee shop will help us raise awareness of the ministry in our community and make the facility more inviting to the missionary families coming through. We need people who would like to learn how to be a barista and willing to be a light to the people of the community that visit.
Facility Maintenance
It take a team of people to maintain our headquarters and shop facilities in St Louis. We are always in need of that are handy in this area to keep things in the building running smoothly.
Vehicle Pick Up and Delivery
There is frequently a need to move vehicles around the country. This may be swapping our a broken or wrecked van, or collecting a donated car from the donor. We need people that are good drivers and familiar with using a trailer. These trips can be local, or across the country.
