keep girls rolling toward bright, bold futures.
Girls in Gear has helped thousands of girls grow into their boldest, brightest selves. But today, girls are facing more pressure than ever - pressure to fit in, to stay quiet, to shrink. In a world that tells them who to be and how small to make themselves, Girls in Gear offers something rare: a place where they can move freely. A place where their voices are heard, their stories matter, and their whole selves are welcome, on and off their bikes.
Every time a girl rides with us, she’s practicing something powerful. She’s practicing independence. She’s practicing courage. She’s practicing leadership. She’s practicing taking up space in a world that too often tells her not to. And right now, girls need that freedom more than ever.
The need for our programs has never been greater. Across the country, girls - especially those in communities without access to quality after-school programs or safe places to move - are yearning for spaces that are supportive, joyful, and affirming. Girls in Gear gives them exactly that.
Your support ensures every girl, everywhere, can feel the freedom that comes with two, three, or four wheels and learn to trust the strength she carries far beyond the bike path.
The difference your donation makES
PROGRAM COSTS
Girls in Gear’s no-questions-asked scholarship program ensures every girl has access to our programs no matter her family’s financial situation. Your support helps keep registration fees low and covers the true costs it takes to run safe, joyful programs in communities that have historically lacked access to quality, empowering after-school opportunities.
Volunteer coaches
Our coaches are the heartbeat of Girls in Gear. Your donation helps us train and support the volunteers who show up week after week to cheer girls on, fix flats, share high-fives, and create the kind of environment where confidence grows. With your help, coaches receive the tools, training, and guidance they need to ensure every rider feels seen, supported, and celebrated.
program Gear
We collect used bikes from the community and work with local bike shop partners to repair and redistribute them, ensuring every girl who wants to ride has a bike that fits her body and fuels her confidence. Your generosity keeps this sustainable model going, reducing barriers, extending the life of donated bikes, and giving girls the equipment they need to experience the freedom of riding.
