Here’s a side hustle to help local up-and-coming entrepreneurs

Lyft drivers are needed to meet the transportation needs of YWCA's WAND Entrepreneurship program.

The YWCA of Delaware will launch a partnership with Lyft on March 16, a new addition to its WAND Wo(men) Achieving New Directions — program that will help ensure participants have reliable transportation to and from entrepreneurial and career readiness classes, workshops and counseling opportunities.

In the meantime, they need to get a fleet of drivers together. Interested? Sign up to attend one of two training sessions:

  • Tuesday, Feb. 12, from 11 a.m. to noon at YWCA Newark
  • Tuesday, Feb. 19, from 5:45 to 7 p.m. at the Rt. 9 Library, New Castle

To be eligible, you must have:

  • No DUIs
  • No misdemeanors
  • Valid driver’s license
  • No overdue child support

Car requirements:

  • Four-door car that is year 2006 or newer and seats four passengers
  • Must complete a vehicle inspection that covers mechanical and cosmetic condition
  • Must have in-state insurance with your name on the policy

If you’re eligible but don’t have an eligible car, a rental option via Lyft is available.

This is a paid opportunity. Register here.

And if you’re more interested in YWCA’s programs for entrepreneurs, there is a free, two-part “Building Your Business” course coming up on Feb. 12 and March 12:
