Uber and YWCA Canada offer rides to help underserved communities

Uber Canada has partnered with the non-profit Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) Canada to help young women and gender diverse people in the country arrive at essential meetings and interviews. The ride-sharing service will provide rides for things like job training, medical appointments, and job interviews. It's part of Uber's Community Impact Initiative, and it's available for residents in Calgary, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. Those who need a ride can get in touch with YWCA so that they can coordinate with Uber. 

The two parties previously collaborated on a project that raises awareness about gender-based violence. They provide training and resources for support programs and services around the country.
