Program Name:  Triangle Bikeworks    <br />Program Primary Contact and Title:  Kevin Hicks, Executive Director    <br />Telephone Number:  919-452-2272   E-Mail: kevin@trianglebikeworks.org     <br />10.Please briefly describe the proposed program, including an explanation of how it aligns <br />with the Town of Chapel Hill and Carrboro’s Results Framework, and Orange County <br />BOCC Goals and Priorities, and the target population to benefit from the program.(250 <br />words or less) <br />TBW’s youth programs provide physically challenging out-of-school activities that develop <br />leadership and build social-emotional learning competencies through three learning <br />pathways: Cycling, Untold History, and Environmental Education. We serve BIPOC youth <br />ages 11-18. 85% of our youth are from low-income households. <br />In 2023/2024, TBW will provide up to 340 hours of out-of-school programming that includes <br />workshops, lectures, guest speakers, mindfulness practices, team-building activities, and <br />above all, training rides and Fall and Spring bike tours. <br />Youth ready to advance are invited to the 2-week immersive cross-country summer tour <br />with stops at historical and educational sites. Our spring mountain biking program takes the <br />youth across the state of North Carolina, making peer connections from the coast to the <br />mountains. <br />In all, TBW programs have the goal of increasing health outcomes for the youth, which <br />through research leads to in-class effectiveness, increased social interactions, and growth <br />in their resilience to challenges. <br />TBW’s theory of change shows that after completing our program, youth will have an <br />increased understanding of the world around them, increased social emotional awareness, <br />and increased power to overcome challenges and achieve personal and collective goals. <br />This increases the likelihood of improved academic outcomes and capacity to work with <br />others to co-create a more healthy, just and equitable world. <br />Our physical, education-based programs align well with the Towns’ Strategic Objective #3 <br />(Residents improve their health outcomes), and the OC BOCC Goal to ensure a high <br />quality of life and lifelong learning that champions diversity and education at all levels. <br />Program informationPage 13 of 31 <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 6A73A95F-9EEF-4EFD-96FE-00C59AA0BD1F
