We’re excited to announce that Lyft, a global ridesharing platform, has awarded Digital NEST a $10,000 ride credit grant. This grant will play a crucial role in supporting our members and BizzNEST associates as they travel to and from NEST centers.
The ride credits, distributed in denominations of $25 to $50, will be a game-changer for youth. With this added resource, associates can more easily access a wide range of career-building opportunities, including interviews, client projects, conferences, trainings, and community events at Digital NEST centers in Watsonville, Salinas, Gilroy, Modesto, and Stockton.
“This grant is a game-changer for our youth,” said Jacob Martinez, founder and CEO of Digital NEST. “Reliable transportation is often a hidden barrier for our young people. Thanks to Lyft’s support, our youth can focus on their futures without worrying about how to get there.”
“Having access to Lyft credits made a huge difference during our work trip out of state. It gave me peace of mind knowing transportation was covered, which helped me stay focused on my goals and fully engaged in the experience,” said Cristian, Senior Design Associate at BizzNEST. ”The convenience made the whole trip smoother and more impactful, and it’s something that continues to support my growth by giving me the freedom to take on new opportunities anywhere with confidence.”
