Empowering youth through cycling starts here
We believe the bicycle is the perfect vehicle for personal and collective growth and development.
The power of age-based youth programming
This means our youth programs are organized primarily by age, not by ability level. This distinction is a key component of our proven success in developing lifelong cyclists.
We believe mountain biking skills and fitness will come naturally as a result of being part of an inclusive community of peers who are excited about riding bikes. As such, our programs give youth a space in which they can forge key friendships—and find true success.
Although our Devo Team is currently the only program that includes femme-only options, we promote and celebrate femme participation throughout our organization.
NCYD Femme Definition: This term is used to identify an inclusive, female-centered space that aligns with our core value of community. Our femme-only programs and events are open to individuals who identify as female (regardless of sex assigned at birth), non-binary folks, allies, and anyone who wants to participate in a female-focused environment.
What We Offer
