As a Companion Driver with Onward in Frederick, you can help make that possible.

THE ONWARD DIFFERENCE IN FREDERICK
Life in Frederick offers historic charm, scenic views, and close-knit neighborhoods, but for many residents, it also comes with mobility challenges. Seniors in communities like Spring Ridge may need help getting to the grocery store, patients visiting Frederick Health Hospital rely on dependable transportation for ongoing treatments, and grandparents often require assistance attending family gatherings.
​​
As a Companion Driver, you make all of these everyday moments possible. You might start your morning with a pickup in Lake Linganore for a physical therapy appointment near Downtown Frederick, then help a patient in Walkersville get to their weekly dialysis session, and later escort a grandmother to a birthday celebration in Urbana. Throughout the day, you offer more than a ride—you offer conversation, comfort, and a trusted presence that riders look forward to.
​
This is purpose-driven work that pays well, fits your life, and makes a real difference for people across Frederick.
