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:
153, So we only have 147 more to go! We’ve passed the halfway point and it isn’t quite August yet!
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 20th there were 100 bikes earned by youth.
In the past week 7 more bikes have been earned bringing the total to 107 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 39 bikes have been given away to youth younger than 7 years old.
In the past week we have not given out any additional bikes, but as this is being published (Friday) I’m heading out to Gardner Elementary to deliver more bikes. So see that number reported next week
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 34 bikes that made their way to youth through our partners.
In the past week we were able to get out 30 more bikes to Detroit Eastside Community Collaborative for their Earn-a-Bike program. This brings the total number of bikes up to 64.
Total Bikes Earned or Given to Youth so far this year:
210
