Our Mission

Work with youth to build a community to find identity and purpose through the bicycle.

We apply evidence based best practices to partnering with youth on their journey to create community, uncover identity and discover purpose.

Meeting Our Mission

Work with youth to build a community to find identity and purpose through the bicycle.

We have grown to include a team of coaches and board members who support programming and development for more than 700 youth members and reach more than 300 non-member youth through clinics and collaborative programming.

15% of NCYD programming is currently devoted to youth-specific career and educational development training. This will increase to 30% to train and employ more young people to staff NCYD programmatic activities and procure partnerships with other organizations who employ cycling instructors moving forward.

75% of programming is devoted to year-round student-athlete cycling development by professional coaches who provide on-the-bike instruction in the community and in the NCYD facility. As a result of the broader mission, vision, and values of NCYD,, this number will decrease to 50% as we commit more resources to giving back to our communities.
