With tens of millions of people in the U.S. unemployed, more people than ever are eager to set up job interviews. However, for many, lack of transportation is a barrier that stops them in their tracks. That’s why Goodwill and Lyft have partnered to relieve this stress. Now available in 20 major cities, including Philadelphia, Lyft’s Job Access Program provides reliable and FREE transportation to job interviews, job training programs and to the first few weeks of a new job.
“Access to transportation can often make or break a person’s ability to move forward in life,” said Steve Preston, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries International. “The partnership through Lyft’s Jobs Access Program will provide many job seekers with free transportation to get them started and give them paths to new beginnings.”
Through this program, you can also donate rides to be used as part of the Lyft Job Access Program.
Please visit the Lyft Jobs Access Hub (https://www.lyft.com/lyftup/jobs-access ) to give help or get help. Or, to apply for a local ride in the Philadelphia region, please contact jshisler@goodwillnj.org.
Many thanks to Lyft for partnering with Goodwill in the power of work.
