About the Driven Project The Driven Project is a global nonprofit organization that has one simple yet ambitious goal: to provide critically and chronically ill children with the best day of their lives through transformative 'supercar therapy' experiences.
Since 2018, we have been taking critically and chronically ill children in convoys of rare and exotic supercars escorted by local police departments across the United States, Canada, and Australia. We team up with incredible event partners, children's hospitals, racetracks, professional sports teams, F1 drivers, and celebrities (like Daniel Ricciardo and Post Malone) to make the experience even more special.
Our events create the ultimate escape from reality, ensuring that no child has to miss out on being a kid.
Help us make the impossible, possible Due to rapid expansion and an increased need for support, the Driven Project is opening up its first-ever opportunities for a few select internship roles.
