National Center for Youth Development parkYDs park - based programming brings all of the elements we’ve taught for years on the trails to an urban setting centered in the neighborhoods where your kids live and play. We explore the features abundantly available all around us while working on fundamental riding skills that participants will use for the rest of their lives. Our focus is to build community, progress in our riding competence and confidence, and have fun with our friends. Certified instructors ensure a safe, educational, and enjoyable experience where the goals of the kids we serve are the drivers of activities. We use an open group format using an ability and interest assessment process to determine placement. A whole-person approach drives our process where personal goals and abilities are the main determinants for group placement, not just age or gender. Each of the events below focuses on unique challenges directly associated with the levels of progression consistent with the evidence-based best practice method for long term development trajectory.
