GNKOB will team up with Storyriders in the Spring of 2022 to increase participation among Indigenous youth promote health and wellness.
Rides will not only achieve health and wellness, but it is vital to strengthen the connection to place and incorporate cultural knowledge throughout the season.
We believe that collaboration and community will help achieve our goals. We recognize that we cannot do this work alone and will need the help from others as we build the GNKOB initiative.

Get Native Kids on Bikes
Promote the health of Indigenous youth and enrich their lives through cycling
We want to do community outreach to identify the youth that would be interested and benefit from our program.
Taking on an intersectional understanding, we recognize outreach will be quite the task because not all Indigenous children have access to transportation, high speed internet, financial means, et al.
Since many disadvantaged youth face more systemic barriers, these are key factors that prevent these youth from experiencing cycling in childhood. With this in mind, our outreach program will need to be robust to identify participants.
