"Revolution Kids

Our mission is to promote opportunities for bicycling in the city of Annapolis through the education of youth and youth mentors. Elementary through High School students will have opportunities to earn bikes and learn about safe cycling through a variety of hands-on programs. The objectives include 1) increasing youth opportunities to safe cycling as a mode of transportation and a form of healthy physical activity and to 2) providing at-risk teens with skills necessary to repair broken bicycles and gain job opportunities while giving them a chance to earn a bicycle. This program is a partnership between the City of Annapolis Recreation and Parks Department, the City’s Transportation Department and the Police Department."

      How do you find these charities?

      Awesome program - Everyone should check out their local Park and Rec/Advocacy/Police departments to find great, local causes like this one. We have one in my town (Cyles of Change) and a lot of kids not only have a safe and encouraging place to spend after-school hours but also learn really important life skills.

      They completely refurbish used, donated bikes and the money from those sales goes toward their great program. So donate cash, donate used bike parts, or think twice before buying used bikes elsewhere. These kids really do know whats up!
