The Tracy Bike Life Youth Program provides a safe and fun place for youth ages 6-17 years to learn bicycle safety, repair and maintenance in a self-esteem and team-building atmosphere.
The program utilizes curriculum that introduces students to important Science, Engineering, Technology & Math (S.T.E.M.) skills including mechanics, engineering, units of measurement and conversions.
Bicycles are donated from the Tracy Police Department, the Salvation Army, and from members of the community. At the end of the program, students get to keep or give away the bikes that they fix.
Students Will:
Get to KEEP the donated bike they fix up in the program, or they can donate it!
Be introduced to valuable S.T.E.M. skills in hands-on applications, giving them insight into potential future careers.
Build character, gain confidence, feel a sense of accomplishment, and have the satisfaction of knowing they are self-sufficient, capable, and independent.
These programs aim to build self-esteem, inspire healthy lifestyles and instill environmental values.
