HopSkipDrive

HopSkipDrive is an LA-based organization committed to eliminating transportation barriers for children, including those requiring special assistance. The organization was launched by three women who cite their "Mom DNA" as the reason for the success of HopSkipDrive, entwining their innate desire to help their own kids with the goal of making opportunities accessible to all children.

• Safety is everything: We leave no stone unturned, we think of every possibility, and we do all that we can to protect the children and CareDrivers at the heart of HopSkipDrive
• Feel it: Empathy is the essence of our business. We are courageous enough to feel the fears, the stress, the worry of others and we show up to empower and help them so we can share in celebrating their joys, their laughs, and their successes
• Own it: We are trustworthy, authentic, and accountable. We don’t just show up, we engage fully and wholeheartedly in all that we do to create opportunities for the kids, families, schools, and CareDrivers. We are here for our team and our partners
• Make tomorrow better: We challenge assumptions and the status quo to achieve continuous innovation. We are curious and believe in being part of the solution instead of dwelling on problems. We move forward, break down barriers, and innovate to make tomorrow better than today - for ALL
• Drive: We feel an urgency to create opportunity for all, so we move fast and stay nimble while creating solutions and building for scale. We embrace flexibility and efficiency while acting boldly
• Empower community: We empower the communities we serve by celebrating diversity and being an inclusive team. We embrace different perspectives and experiences because they make us stronger, smarter, and better
