Volunteer
Our staff & volunteers
We cannot do this without our amazing volunteers—they are the heart and engine of My First Keys. From mentors and driving companions to behind-the-scenes organizers, our team is made up of everyday heroes who show up with passion, patience, and purpose. They don’t just give their time—they give hope, guidance, and encouragement to youth who need it most. Because of our volunteers, lives are changing, doors are opening, and young people are taking the wheel of their future. When you join our team, you become part of something bigger than yourself—you become part of a movement that’s driving real change.
Our history
My First Keys was launched in 2025 with a bold mission: to give homeless and underserved youth the opportunity to earn their driver’s licenses, gain independence, and build a brighter future. What started as a vision to break cycles of poverty and disconnection quickly grew into a movement of empowerment through mobility. Founded by a team passionate about youth success and second chances, My First Keys was built on the belief that a simple set of car keys can open doors to jobs, education, and freedom. From day one, our goal has been clear—change lives, one key at a time.
Our mission
Mission Statement
My First Keys is dedicated to helping homeless ,foster kids and any family that just needs a little help by guiding them on the journey to car ownership—one milestone at a time. We provide teens ages 13 and up with comprehensive driver education, one-on-one behind-the-wheel training, and support in obtaining their learner’s permits and driver’s licenses. Our ultimate goal is to equip every young person we serve with not only the skills and confidence to drive, but the keys to their very first car.
