The popular program connects voluntary driver mentors with people from refugee backgrounds living in the Illawarra.
It provides mentoring sessions for learner drivers and facilitates a number of initiatives to increase community awareness about safe driving and road safety.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been continuing big demand for SCARF's L2P program.
Following a necessary pause at the height of the pandemic the waiting list for participants has grown to 43 people.
Adhering to strict COVID-safe protocols and procedures, SCARF's L2P program is now back up and running, with organisers looking for more volunteers to join the team dedicated to helping former refugees build their driving skills and gain the independence that comes with a driver licence.
SCARF relies on the wider community to deliver its L2P program.
