NCYD helps kids connect and build community.
Community Outreach
NCYD volunteers to connect and give back to communities locally and regionally. We partner with groups like FreeBikes4Kids to ensure we’re able to help get more kids on bikes.
“I am on the youth board so that I can help give back to the team and the community.”
Trail Stewardship
We use our expertise to help with trail work at our favorite local and national trails, including The Loppet Foundation, Duluth DEVO Mountain Bike Program and Bike School Bentonville.
“I hope to help keep the mountain bike trails maintained, so others can have a fun and safe bike ride!”
Equity in Biking
Our vision is to create equitable opportunity for youth to develop and socially connect through cycling as a lifelong activity.
“I am passionate about getting more kids on bikes and growing this amazing sport to its full potential.”
Coaching
The Bike Instructor Certification Program (BICP) supports NCYD by providing evidence based best practice models for instruction that gives clear, concise direction language without overwhelming or causing confusion. BICP is our go-to certification and continuing education provider and we use the curriculum in all our adult and youth-led coaching and development programs.
Bike Maintenance
Learning bike maintenance skills is a great way to stay connected, efficiently grow as a cyclist, and save money. We support opportunities to learn basic bike mechanic skills to strengthen each rider’s knoweldge and independence.
