Read About Cycles for Change Apprenticeship Program. Apply? Umm, Yes Please!
Cycles for Change employed seven high school aged youth to learn bicycle repair, go on bike rides, speak to their neighbors at local community events about bicycling, and learn about transportation policy. Youth provided bicycle mechanic support at Cycles for Change’s Open Shop, where community members can drop in and access free bike repair. Youth also had the unique opportunity to support Cycles for Change in building out a new bike shop when the organization relocated their Minneapolis shop.
