Project Title: Youth Ride Program: New Fleet Bikes
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Trips for Kids Charlotte\u2019s Youth Ride program supports the physical, social, and emotional development of youth ages 9\u201316 through guided, trail-based bike rides. These rides are more than just recreation\u2014they\u2019re powerful tools for building resilience, confidence, and independence as youth set goals, overcome challenges, and discover their own strength. Along the way, participants develop critical life skills like communication, problem-solving, and teamwork, all in a safe, supportive outdoor environment. For many, it\u2019s their first time exploring natural spaces or riding beyond their neighborhood, expanding their sense of self, place, and possibility.<\/p>\n
Since 2000, the Youth Ride program has been at the heart of our mission, engaging over 500 youth each year with free, transformative cycling experiences paired with bike safety education. After 25 years and thousands of miles ridden, our Ride Program Fleet bikes are at the end of their journey. We\u2019ve kept them rolling as long as we could, but now it\u2019s time to retire them responsibly through metal recycling.<\/p>\n
With support from this grant, we\u2019ll purchase 20 new fleet bikes\u2014ensuring our Youth Ride program can continue to deliver joy, skill-building, and life-changing outdoor experiences to the next generation of riders.\n<\/p>\n
