As you may have seen through Fox 10 or the link to the article we posted on Facebook, Clean Air Cab has partnered with Child and Family Resources to help teen moms achieve success in the work force.
Many teen mothers struggle to finish high school with the added responsibilities of a child at home. This can make it difficult for them to seek long-term employment to support themselves and their child. Even transportation to interviews or to purchase professional clothing can be a massive hurdle.
This is where Clean Air Cab comes in. We have launched a "Drive to Success" program to give young women free rides to job interviews and to purchase clothing. Child and Family resources provides resources to assist young mothers in receiving their GED, like tutoring and child care, as well as assistance in finding employment and doing interviews.
Clean Air Cab is known for its commitment to education through our partnership with ASU, but our commitment to family may be less well known. CAC knows that families are integral to our community, so in our efforts to support our local community, we strive to show our support for families as well, especially mothers. In fact, it's not uncommon to see a child or two around the office! Two of our managers had babies around the same time and took them to work daily while they were young. So those running CAC understand first hand the struggles that come with balancing a career and family and the importance of keeping family close. That's why this partnership hits so close to home for us and is so vital to our goals as a business. We know that if we are supporting the mothers in our community, we are supporting the children in our community and helping to raise future leaders, scientists, teachers, doctors, managers, athletes... in essence, we are supporting a brighter future for everyone!
