Our Bike Build program aims to provide youth who are preparing to transition out of the foster care system with a bicycle.  Two out of three foster teens lack transportation, which makes it more difficult to make a successful transition into society. The Bike Build events normally take place with the help of sponsors and partnerships with group homes. During these events foster youth and local volunteers have the chance to build the bikes together. For the March 8^th event, TWR was able to partner with a foster agency instead of a group home.

TWR was able to provide tools and t-shirts for the kids.  With the help of Hubert’s Lemonade and Guardian Scholars, we were able to also order pizza for the volunteers! Thanks so much to our partners the Guardian Scholars, Specialized Foster Care, and Hubert’s Lemonade for making this event possible!  We could not continue to hosts events like these without our generous sponsors.
