Provide Child Safe Ride home from Arts Classes

Become a CABBIE & Drive the Future of St. Louis Arts!

At CommUNITY Arts, we believe every St. Louis child deserves access to the transformative power of the arts. YOU can be part of that mission — not just as a volunteer, but as a mentor, a role model, and a vital connection on their creative journey.

As a CABBIE, you're more than just a ride — you're driving dreams. 

Each week, you’ll safely transport young artists home from their after-school arts programs, but the real magic happens in those few miles: meaningful conversations, laughter, encouragement, and the chance to build trust and inspiration with the next generation of St. Louis creators.

By simply opening up a seat in your car once a week, you’re opening doors to a lifetime of artistic opportunities.

CABBIE Requirements:

• Age 25+

• Safe, clean, reliable car with available seats

• Valid driver’s license & proof of insurance
