Drive for Life is a driver training and mentoring program for young people overcoming adversity. We want to make positive changes in their lives and need your support! Drive for Life believes all young people should have the opportunity to achieve their goals and reach their full potential.

What Our Donors Are Saying
“Donating my car was so straightforward and easy. The people at Slattery were so professional and walked me through each step from submitting the initial enquiry to my car being picked up from my front door. Easy way to give back and support people who need it the most.”
“My car had been sitting in my driveway for months. When I heard about this program helping young people learn to drive, I didn’t hesitate and very happy knowing it is making a positive change in others lives.”
“When I found out about Donate a Vehicle it was perfect timing; my son had just left for university and it wasn’t being used. Knowing it helped a young person feels like I have contributed and im proud to be a donor.”

What support might a young person receive?
Since the beginning of our Drive for Life program in 2008, we have expanded from a single location to 14 programs and a team over 100 staff and volunteers across the eastern seaboard of Australia. We estimate over 10,000 young people have passed through our program and moved into further education or employment. Approximately 75% of young people enrolled in our program achieve their learner licence and 68% will go on to achieve their full drivers licence.
Structured and professional driving instruction
Support from an experienced mentor to develop safe driving practices
Develop independent life skills in a safe and supportive environment
A pathway towards education or employment
Drive for Life is a learn-to-drive program with a difference. Not only do we support young people learn to drive; we improve wellbeing and confidence, connect communities through our mentoring program and provide a pathway towards a better future.
