Neighborhood Bike Works

Mission

Neighborhood Bike Works inspires youth and strengthens Philadelphia communities by providing equitable access to bicycling and bike repair through education, recreation, leadership, and career-building opportunities.

Desired Outcomes

We teach youth how to fix bikes, give them the chance to earn a bike and to explore new places by bike. A significant majority of our youth live in low-income neighborhoods and 80% of our youth are people of color.

Our programs promote:
A Safe and Supportive Space: Feeling like you belong
Engineering Strategies: Hands-on mechanics and problem solving
Social and Emotional Development: Giving and getting respect
Expanding Horizons: Discovering new places by bike
Physical Fitness and Health: Making healthy choices
Career Readiness: Building youth confidence and potential
