Bike Program

The Youth Activities League Bike Program is designed as a "hands-on" course of instruction in rebuilding and repairing donated or confiscated bicycles. The refurbished bicycles will be donated to children in our community during events such as: The Christmas giveaway, station open house, Camp C.O.U.R.A.G.E., as well as various other community events sponsored by the station.

A Governor’s Office of Criminal Justice Planning Grant and The City of Industry Sheriff’s Youth Activities League currently fund the Bike Program. The La Puente Valley Regional Occupational Program provides an instructor for the program. This instructor is certified in bicycle repair and is funded by the Y.A.L.

The bike shop program was started as a means of providing high school and middle school aged students with vocational training in the area of bicycle repair and maintenance. When they complete the course, students receive a certificate of completion form the course. This certificate will enable them to work in the bicycle repair industry.

Students receive approximately 4-6 hours of instruction a week for a period of one year. After completing the course, qualified students will then mentor and help train other students during future program sessions.

We anticipate refurbishing 200 – 250 bicycles a year. The students work on the bikes in “The Bike Shop”, a fully equipped workshop, located at The City of Industry Sheriff's Station Community Service Center.

Upon completion of the program, the students are allowed to rebuild a bike for themselves as a reward for their dedication to the program.
