Through the Spoke’n Revolutions Youth Cycling program youth are engaged in a physically demanding means of travel. Using the bicycle, youth travel pre-designated routes where they learn the culture and history of the region they bike through. By exposing young people to new challenges, other cultures and diverse environments through a challenging hands-on experience, Triangle Bikeworks believes we can open young people's eyes to new ways of thinking and inspire them to create positive change in their own lives and communities for the future Our first tour was in 2011. It was the Underground Railroad tour where it was written that the program “is project-based learning at its best, combining travel to powerful places with authentic experience of history and geography, collaboration towards a common goal, and intense physical activity.” Now in our 7th year we approach these tours with confidence and caution. The approach is to learn from each tour to improve the experiences of the youth participants. Since inception, the camp has been free to all participants. For the selection process, the Spoke'nRevolutions summer camp has relied on invites from teachers and students to hold interest meetings within the A.V.I.D. (Advancement Via Individual Determination) classes. Working with the school social worker to find youth who participate in "Free and Reduced" lunch program is another method used. Peer recommendation has also been one way to find students interested in this type of development. Youth are encouraged to supplement the cost of the tour by assisting in fundraising. e)Other Pertinent Agency Information (Ex. Has the agency experienced any major changes in the past year?
