Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Education, Educational Services
Mission: Free wheels for kids teaches youth leadership and promotes healthy lifestyles with bicycling.
Programs: Bike club is an after-school program in which students ages 12-18 repair bikes, learn safe riding skills, and work to improve their neighborhoods. Bike clubs typically meet twice a week, going on bike rides, mapping community assets and working on community improvement projects.
earn-a-bike classes are six sessions in which students ages 12-18 repair a donated bike for younger children, repair a bike for themselves, and learn basic bike riding safety and skills. The last session is a neighborhood bike ride, before students are invited to join bike clubs.
let's get rolling is a school-based bicycle safety program for 4th and 5th grade students. The core of the program is bike safety classes in physical education classrooms. We supplement the basics with a bike safety event where we give away the bikes repaired by our older students, and with "rolling school bus" programs to encourage kids to ride their bikes to school.
