Youth Programs at the SLC Bike Collective have a beautiful way of tapping into the natural love children have for bikes, getting them out of their usual old routines, broadening their horizons with the seeds of healthy lifelong habits.
Earn-A-Bike
Trips for Kids®
Trips for Kids® Salt Lake City was Established in 2008 with the realization that too many youth grow up in the valley without experiencing the abundance of natural beauty and fun that our local mountains have to offer. Our goal is to get these youth outdoors and share with them an appreciation for nature, exercise, and mountain biking.Trips for Kids rides consist of 2-5 hour trips, meeting up to 14 youth at a given trailhead, and teaching them how to mountain bike. We provide the mountain bikes, transportation of bikes, water bottles, Cliff Bars, first aid, experience, and instruction. We work with after-school programs, elementary/high schools, and Boy Scouts of America to name a few.
Volunteer
As a community bike shop we rely on you, the volunteer, to keep each and every Bike Collective program going. We are always looking for Earn-A-Bike Instructors and Trips for Kids Ride Leaders. No experience necessary, just a love for teaching and mentoring. We provide volunteer instruction so that you have the necessary skills to teach.
Many thanks to our dedicated volunteers and sponsors - we can only accomplish what we do with you!
