Richmond Cycling Corps
As an organization, including our youth, our battle cry is:
Can't stop. Won't stop.
Richmond Cycling Corps is changing the lives of youth who live in Richmond's public housing projects through cycling, education, and ongoing mentorship. While cycling is the main vehicle for programming, at the heart, our organization is serving disadvantaged youth who live in public housing, by showing up day after day, because we “Can’t stop, won’t stop.”
We are disrupting the status quo.
Engaging Richmond’s disadvantaged youth
The Richmond Cycling Corps is a local nonprofit organization that uses cycling as a tool to create engagement with youth. While cycling is one of our main programs, at the heart, our organization is serving disadvantaged youth who live in public housing.
Cycling allows our youth to get outside, be active, get away from structures that have perpetuated poverty, and improve their physical and mental health. Day by day, they are learning how to improve and get better. And hopefully, they can see that if they can get better at cycling, they can get better at anything they put their mind to.
OUR PROGRAMS
What starts on a bike does not end with a race or a ride. We aim to develop the whole person as we contribute to the lives of young people in Richmond’s East End.
About Us
Cycling is our platform for change. We have fun. We laugh. We teach. We learn. We have a passion for being a positive impact on the kids in the heart of public housing.
