Velo Kids

When you invest in Velo Kids, you're not just donating; you are actively planting the seeds for a healthier, happier, and more connected future for children in our community. Every pedal stroke in our program is a stride towards fostering resilience and joy in young riders. By offering the benefits of two wheels, mentorship from enthusiastic coaches, personalized attention, and an ignited passion for cycling, Velo Kids goes beyond mere physical activity—we're cultivating life-affirming habits and memories.

Our vision to “get all kids on bikes” is simple yet profound: to elevate the social, emotional, and cognitive well-being of our youth through the joy of biking. Join us in this journey, and together, let's steer our youth towards a path of lifelong well-being and fulfillment.
