Empowering youth through bicycles.

Youth Programs

Our Mission

El Grupo empowers youth through bicycles.Through our afterschool programs, all youth regardless of socioeconomic background develop bike and life skills. Bicycles are used as a vehicle, literally and figuratively, to positively develop youth through self-trust, communication skills, and goal-setting. Because of El Grupo, youth not only learn how to navigate streets, but they also learn the skills required to effectively navigate the world.
