We’re a nonprofit focused on youth leadership. Our flagship program is named Spoke’n Revolutions Youth Cycling. Spoke’n Revolutions provides adventures that promote teamwork, strengthens communication, deepens interpersonal responsibility and compassion, and heightens sensitivity to the natural environment. Our programs provide youth with a world of opportunity for self-discovery and confidence building. We give teens a space to connect with their peers while being given leadership and mentoring opportunities. |
Bike tours can be physically and mentally challenging, making the experiences obtained stand out and stay with youth for life.
Our goal is to create a challenge for our youth cyclists to think outside of traditional methods of excelling while finding ways to contribute to their community in positive ways.
Yep, fun and challenging at the same time!
