BRIGHTER BOLDER BIKIER
The difference your donation makes
We live in a world where, from a very early age, women are continuously questioned for who they are, why they are, and what they stand for. Girls' confidence plummets as they reach middle school in ways that affect how they show up for themselves in school, at home, and with friends. With this drop comes a decline in physical activity levels. And yet, when girls learn how to ride a bike, change a flat tire, or lead a group ride, they're also learning about their inner strength, self-reliance, and innate leadership potential.
Just ask Allyson. Over the past three seasons, Girls in Gear has helped her grow into her leadership potential as a teammate and friend. At any session, you will find her passing out helmets, volunteering to answer a question, and cleaning up afterward. Girls in Gear has given Allyson a place to thrive with lessons that she carries to school, at home, and with her friends.
PROGRAM COSTS
Beyond our no-question-asked scholarship policy, we are committed to keeping our registration fee low in order to ensure that everyone has a chance to ride with us. Your support will help support the program costs not covered by each registration fee.
Volunteer coaches
Coaches are the heartbeat of our program! Your donation will help support our enthusiastic volunteers and ensure they continue to have access to the best training, curricula, program supplies, and staff support.
program Gear
We collect used bikes from the community that then go to our bike shop partners. This way, we are providing a sustainable solution to scaling our program in a way that doesn't require constantly raising money for new bikes, utilizes the generosity of community partners, and finds homes for existing bikes.
