Friends of Momentum Bike Clubs

Middle school Bike programs. Bike Clubs are run from under-serviced schools in the community. Fombc provides the bicycles and pays teacher stipends to ride with the youth. Youth are selected for the program largely from teacher recommendations. Approximately 200 youth and 50 teacher mentors were involved in various middle school Bike Clubs in the local community.

Summer internships consist of middle school youth who are moving into high school or high potential youth who have a year remaining before high school and are invited to attend a five week summer internship which serves as a gateway for youth moving on to challenge team. The internship consists of training in healthy lifestyles, job skills, exposure through speakers to possible career paths, service projects and bicycle rides.

Challenge team consists of about 30 high school youth and ten volunteer mentors. Programming consists of two saturday rides per month and one circles meeting of which both include meals and life skills training. Mentors spend about 15 hours per month with the youth establishing relationships and offering advice and support regarding college selection and admissions.
