As I mentioned in this post asking you for bikes, I plan on keeping you updated on bikes donated towards our goal as well as updates on how our youth programs have been going. So let’s break this down:
Bikes donated since June 29th:
115, So we only have 185 more to go!
Youth Earn-a-Bike:
I’m going to update you on our year-to-date data to get you started before I start updating you week to week. Between January 1st and July 13th there were 90 bikes earned by youth.
In the past week 10 more bikes have been earned bringing the total to 100 bikes
Youth Give-a-Way:
The Hub gives away bikes to youth younger than 7 years old since they are too young to begin working with tools. Between January 1st and July 13th 19 bikes have been given away to youth younger than 7 years old.
In the past week we have given out another 20 bringing the total to 39 bikes. This number will rise again around the end of the month.
Community Partnerships:
The Hub often works with other groups like City Year, the Mt. Elliot Makerspace and other groups that work with youth. Sometimes when we can and they ask, we give them bikes. Between January 1st and July 13th we were able to give out 29 bikes that made their way to youth through our partners.
In the past week we were able to give out 5 more bikes to Project ART for their event on Belle Isle. This brings the total number of bikes up to 34.
Total Bikes Earned or Given to Youth so far this year:
173
