Job description
Van Driver (Part-Time) — Denver, CO
College Track | Denver Office · 4777 National Western Drive $20–$30/hour · Part-Time, Non-Exempt · 3–8 PM, Monday–Thursday
College Track is looking for a Van Driver who understands that every trip behind the wheel is really a trip toward someone's future. You'll be the steady, reliable face scholars count on to get them safely from school to programming, from programming home, and — every once in a while — on the road to tour the campus where their story continues.
This isn't just a driving gig. It's a front-row seat to the college journey of first-generation, underrepresented students working to become the first in their families to earn a bachelor's degree.
Who We Are
College Track has spent nearly 30 years proving what's possible when talent meets opportunity. Since 1997, we've grown from 25 students in East Palo Alto to a national movement of 5,400+ scholars and alumni across California, Colorado, Louisiana, and the D.C. Metro Area — with a brand-new site launching in Baltimore.
The results speak for themselves: our scholars graduate at three times the national average for first-generation students, and by age 30, our alumni out-earn the national median. We're not just getting students to college — we're getting them through it, and into lives of opportunity, choice, purpose, and power.
What You'll Do
🚐 Get Scholars Where They Need to Be
- Pick students up after school and drive them safely to the College Track site
- Pick students up after programming and get them to their drop-off point — staying with them until they're safely handed off
- Drive scholars to college tours and off-site events (occasional evenings/weekends, always with advance notice)
📱 Keep Everyone in the Loop
- Send a quick Slack or text reminder before each pickup so no one's left wondering
🕒 Pitch In Where Needed
- Run time-sensitive errands during the gaps between drives
What You Bring
- A driver's heart and a mentor's mindset. First and foremost, you're a fierce advocate for helping students overcome real barriers on the road to a degree.
- 2+ years of experience driving a van or shuttle
- 2 years of experience working with students
- Punctuality — students should never be left waiting
- Availability 3–8 PM, Monday–Thursday, across 13 weeks of fall programming and 13 weeks of spring programming
- A valid driver's license and the ability to pass College Track's driver clearance process
- Physical readiness for the role: sitting, standing, walking, lifting up to 20 lbs, and the visual/motor demands of safe driving
Why You'll Love It Here
- $20–$30/hour
- Full access to College Track's wellness-focused benefits: health care, work-life balance, and financial security

College Track is proud to be an equal-opportunity employer, committed to a diverse workforce and free from discrimination on the basis of race, age, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender, disability, veteran status, genetic information, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression.
