Eight students from Los Amigos Tech Academy built their own bikes and learned basic mechanics while practicing problem-solving skills, gaining self-confidence, and building leadership skills through the Youth Earn-a-Bike program at Bicycle Inter-Community Art & Salvage (BICAS). Los Amigos and BICAS have been partners of Living Streets Alliance for many years and work together to provide amazing opportunities for students.
The Youth Earn-a-Bike program was an 8-day program in which students from Los Amigos attended a 2-hour class at BICAS after school. Students built their own bike and took it home with them after the program ended.
