About Us:
At Assist Services, we eliminate transportation as a barrier to children's success. We do this by mobilizing outstanding adults like you who want to make a difference. Our drivers transport many school-age students who are experiencing homelessness, living in foster care, living with mental or emotional special needs, or other circumstances that make traditional yellow school buses a poor transportation option.
We match each student with a part-time driver who takes that student to and from school every day. Many of our drivers are current or former teachers, nurses, nannies, babysitters, personal caregivers, nursing home aides, social workers, parents, and grandparents who are eager to be a positive influence in their students' lives.
Our Values:

• Kids First - We can spend 100+ hours a year driving each child; we make those hours count.
• Excellence Everywhere - We bring the same high level of urgency and quality to every child and every district.
• Learn Continuously - We are scrappy problem-solvers who treat mistakes as opportunities to grow.
• Trust Is Everything - We treat each other with respect and candor, and we always keep our word.
