Bikes N' Roses
Formed by Communities United youth leaders envisioning a space for a positive outlet in their communities, Bikes N’ Roses (BNR) is a youth-driven bicycle cooperative providing job training and employment opportunities to young people. BNR uses bicycles as both a medium to drive social change and a foundation from which young people can learn and practice skills applicable to college and career, build their self-confidence, develop and strengthen peer and community relationships, and become agents of positive change in their communities.
