DocuSign Envelope ID: EE049453-18E5-41 DO-666D-662773AMC09 <br /> EXHIBITA: Provider's Outside Agency Application <br /> 2. AGENCY INFORMATION (Be Very Brief and Concise) <br /> Please provide the following information about your agency (2 pages OR LESS): <br /> a) Years in Operation, Date of Incorporation (Month/Year): April 2011 <br /> b) Agency's Purpose/Mission (no more than a few sentences): <br /> The mission of Triangle Bikeworks (TBW) is to enrich the mind, body and spirit of <br /> youth through transformative community, cultural and cycling experiences in the <br /> Triangle of North Carolina. <br /> c) Types of Services the Agency Provides (bullet format): <br /> • Afterschool program <br /> • Summer bicycling tour <br /> d) Agency's History with Providing These Services: <br /> In 2010, a group of 7 youth embarked on a 60-mile journey through and around the coastal <br /> town of Edenton, NC. After successfully completing that initial ride, the Spoke'n Revolutions <br /> (SnR) Youth Cycling program was born in 2011. The SnR program has developed into an <br /> afterschool and summer program where teens are prepared to successfully complete <br /> history-filled cycling journey of 500 miles or more. Through these adventures, youth realize <br /> their strength and increase confidence and leadership skills, preparing them to be active <br /> and healthy members of their community. <br /> SnR is now moving into it's seventh season, having cycled over 6,300 miles. Past tour <br /> routes include the Underground Railroad, the Lewis and Clark Trail, and the Atlanta, GA to <br /> Washington, DC ride linking the Dr. King Historic Site with the Dr. King Memorial. Tour <br /> routes have also included the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor and the Cherokee <br /> Trail of Tears. <br /> The Spoken' Revolutions project was born out of the need to provide youth of color with <br /> avenues for health and educational enrichment when traditional sports and school curricula <br /> weren't serving their needs. The program gives youth of color access to bicycles, gear, <br /> training expertise and cycling experiences that are usually out of reach for this population. <br /> e) Other Pertinent Agency Information (Ex. Has the agency experienced any major changes <br /> in the past year? Is there a new Executive Director?Are there new initiatives?) <br /> In 2017, Triangle Bikeworks hired a temporary part-time Development Associate and <br /> a part-time administrative position to assist in the goal of increasing the agency's <br /> capacity to serve more youth. <br /> Agency Information 1/23/2018 1:34:47 PM P a g e 1 0 o f 2 6 <br />
