HopSkipDrive Launches HopSkipImpact, Connecting Nonprofit Organizations with Safe Youth Transportation
LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) June 06, 2023 -- HopSkipDrive, the leading safe transportation solution for schools and families, announced today that it has launched HopSkipImpact — a new program aimed at supporting and amplifying the work of nonprofit organizations across the country. Through the program, it will be providing $50,000 in ride discounts for eligible nonprofit organizations, enabling them to access discounted rides through HopSkipDrive.
HopSkipDrive proudly partners with school districts, local education agencies, and more to facilitate safe transportation for kids ages 6 and up, and anyone else who may need a little extra care. With HopSkipImpact, 501(c)(3) organizations will have access to rides at a discounted rate, enabling these organizations to use HopSkipDrive to get kids to summer programs, summer camps, and other places while school is out for the summer.
HopSkipImpact aims to help nonprofits stretch their budget, expand their impact, and serve more of their community. Starting today, nonprofit organizations that align with HopSkipImpact's values of economic empowerment and equity, education and enrichment, and environmental sustainability are encouraged to apply for partnership. Nonprofit organizations interested in learning more about this program or applying for the program can visit https://www.hopskipdrive.com/impact.
HopSkipImpact launches with CASA of Los Angeles as an inaugural partner. CASA of Los Angeles is teaming up with HopSkipDrive to arrange transportation for children in the child welfare system, or foster care, during the summer. This will allow these children and youth to attend enrichment activities they may not have been able to participate in due to transportation barriers. Additionally, some rides will be earmarked for commitments that come with being involved in the child welfare system, such as court appearances, parenting time sessions, sibling visits and therapy appointments.
“HopSkipDrive was founded with the mission to create opportunity through mobility, and we’re proud of the work we do every day with our partners. ” said Joanna McFarland, HopSkipDrive Co-founder and CEO. “With HopSkipImpact, we aim to walk alongside nonprofit organizations that fill a critical need for kids in our communities, especially over the summer when school has ended for the year. We know many people and organizations face barriers to opportunity because they simply don’t have a way to get where they need to go and we are uniquely positioned to help solve that challenge.”
"At CASA of Los Angeles we believe every child deserves the opportunity to participate in summer activities and programs, and our collective goal is to remove barriers that may prevent them from doing so,” said Charity Chandler-Cole, CEO of CASA of LA. “Thanks to transportation arranged through HopSkipDrive, and the hard work of our staff and CASA volunteers, we will create brighter summers and futures for our children and youth in foster care."
