We have locations across the country in airports, bus terminals, and train stations. In 2019, more than 2,100 Travelers Aid volunteers assisted more than 9 million people at our 24 transportation centers and volunteers at Reagan National assisted more than 700,000 of those people.<\/p>\n<p>With a warm welcome, volunteers help passengers navigate the airport by providing flight and lodging information, transportation options, or guidance on making a connecting flight. We also provide a range of tourism information for those visiting the Nation\u2019s Capital. A comprehensive training equips volunteers with the necessary resources to give accurate and helpful information.<\/p>\n<p>Our desks are staffed seven days a week, 365 days a year.\u00a0 Volunteer shifts are available from 7\u201310am, 10am\u20132pm, 2-6pm and 6\u20139pm.
