Calgary-based Charity Youth en Route empowers youth to be healthy and resilient through using a bicycle to get to everyday destinations.  Focussed on Junior High and High Schools, our work breaks down the barriers youth face when considering wheeling to school, determined by engagement with schools and students. Remember that confidence boost when you learned to pedal independently? For many youth, we’re the support that holds the bike so they can learn to pedal their path – to school, a job or to independence and freedom.  Our programs integrates cycling education into core and optional classes and give youth practical experience so they can feel and understand what it’s like to travel independently.

We are looking for funding and donations to purchase equipment, including helmets, that are difficult to fund. We are also looking for prizes and incentives for our student leaders.
