Trips for Kids
Trips For Kids® is an international non-profit community service organization that provides mountain bike outings, environmental education, bicycle mechanics training and earn-a-bike programs for underserved youth. Headquartered in Marin County, California, over 100,000 children have been served by over 80 Trips for Kids chapters in North America, Africa and Israel as of August 2013.〔http://www.tripsforkids.org〕
Many of the children who participate in a Trips for Kids mountain bike ride have never ventured beyond their neighborhood borders or experienced the natural world that is often just out of their reach. These rides offer kids new and challenging experiences that can help build character and inspire teamwork, leadership and self-confidence. For some the rides present pivotal moments of self-discovery and awareness that can help tip the balance to a new way of thinking about their world.
==Marin County Flagship Program==
A grass roots effort, the flagship Trips for Kids program was founded in Marin County in 1988 by Marilyn Price, a social activist, environmentalist and Mountain Bike Hall of Fame inductee. Price pioneered the use of the mountain bike to teach at-risk, underserved youth lessons in personal responsibility, achievement and environmental awareness through the development of practical skills and the simple act of having fun.
In addition to mountain bike rides, the Trips for Kids Marin chapter also runs an after-school earn-a-bike/job training program and the Re-Cyclery bicycle thrift shop. Re-Cyclery sells donated new and re-conditioned bikes, parts, accessories and clothing to generate funds for the operation of the Marin chapter and to help support the international chapters.〔http://www.tripsforkids.org/marin/index.htm〕
