Sponsoring Apprentices
Our community has a growing number of youth that are not equipped to deal with the real world. The Umpqua Valley Bicycle Outreach (UVBO) brings youth on who are ready and willing to grow. By discovering their stories, habits, as well as goals, we create their plan of action with them. Then we walk alongside each youth for a season, meeting them where they are at, and empowering/encouraging them to grow up. If all goes as planned, each youth will have a local mentor who takes the baton upon graduation from UVBO as their personal life coach/friend into adulthood.
Like us, youth need money to survive and enjoy life. Just like I am not able to work for free, our local kids are not going to show up to "work" for free. This is the reason we are asking local individuals and business' to sponsor our apprentices' paychecks. When you do, local youth will stick around & grow in their life and career readiness skills.
