East Side Riders Bike Club (ESRBC) is a grassroots 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to strengthen “at-promise" communities with critical community-building activities that deter youth from gang activity, improve health, increase community cycling access, and beautify neighborhoods. Since the organization's inception, ESRBC develops, maintains, and expands programs based directly on the community's needs and the overall vision to unite Los Angeles. ESRBC is committed to prioritizing and serving under-represented, under-resourced, and at-promise youth throughout Watts and surrounding communities, most of whom are BIPOC youth. ESRBC programs also provide parent, guardian, and caregiver enrichment opportunities and community engagement throughout Watts and the surrounding community. In addition to serving youth, the organization is also committed to providing community engagement opportunities for participants' family members to promote healthy families, increase parent-child bonding, and further community connectedness.
