Mission: Urban business adventure's mission is to provide meaningful employment and work readiness opportunities for youth.
Programs: Urban business adventures (uba) works in partnership with keystone community services to provide a unique employment program for youth designed to help them develop their work readiness skills. Youth are employed at express bike shop or at one of keystone's program sites and receive a minimum of 200 hours of work experience and training. Express bike shop is both a full-service bike shop and a learning lab for teaching low-income youth the tools of entrepreneurship. Donated bikes are refurbished for resale and the proceeds from the bike sales and repairs support the employment program. In 2017, 45 youth completed the urban apprentice/next step training and 25 youth completed a six-month, paid apprenticeship.
