Riders in Recovery

Donation protected
Riders in Recovery is a 12-Step based program helping teens and their families who are dealing with addiction and other self-destructive behaviors.  This program enables teens to build self esteem, confidence and physical conditioning to create sustainable recovery,

Teens earn their way into the program by showing consistency in recovery, by completing an intensive mountain-bike maintenance internship and must become CPR and First Aid Certified. To enhance fitness and physical conditioning, they will also attend weekly training sessions led by athletes experienced in transforming novice peddlers into confident riders. Finally, to instill the value of commitment, the teens will learn about budgeting time, money and effort that will ultimately allow them to achieve ownership of their own bike.

The REWARD is an annual, week-long, back country riding and adventure trip that must be EARNED by each teen. More importantly, the work leads to life skills that few teens get when struggling with the obstacles faced in early recovery.  These skills learned will be incorporated into an active program of recovery.

Your contribution will provide the seed money for a self-sustaining program that will be driven and maintained by the participating teens and alumni for years to come.

Your support today helps put a teen on a bike and a path to recovery.  

Please support us!

Thank you!
