There’s something iconic about North America’s big yellow school bus.

But have you ever considered what it might take to reclaim some of that childhood magic? School bus driving can be a great fit for people from all walks of life, from retirees and veterans to parents or someone simply looking for a new path in life. Read on to learn how getting behind the wheel of the iconic school bus not only means a reliable job with a flexible schedule – but also giving back to your community, protecting our kids, and finding purpose.
An Active Member of the Community
Once all the kids have moved out of the family home, or after closing the chapter on a long career, many retirees and even grandparents seek new ways to remain connected to their communities.
The part-time schedule of driving a school bus is an ideal opportunity to stay engaged with the communities you love. A few hours of work in the morning and the afternoon – with a long break through the middle of the day – can be just the right balance for those who crave meaningful engagement and activity in their lives. As the stewards of safety to your neighborhood’s school children, the role of a school bus driver can bring a great sense of fulfillment to your life!
