In its initial phase of operations, Trips for Kids Southern Colorado will be an external program provider for a wide array of youth agencies in the Pueblo, Fountain and Colorado Springs area. TFKSC will provide bikes, safety equipment, volunteers, and an environmental education lesson for a group of up to ten children ages 10-17. The youth agency will pay a nominal fee to reserve the trip date, and will be responsible for providing volunteers or staff to transport the children to and from the trailhead. Pedal Paradise, Inc. doing business as Trips for Kids - Southern Colorado will take up to 10 youth on mountain bike adventures with a 1:3 youth to adult ratio. Our basic program will allow over 300 children to participate in the first year.
Mission Statement
Pedal Paradise, Inc. and Trips for Kids - Southern Colorado (TFKSC) who are launching operations to give disadvantaged, urban children the opportunity to experience and learn about the natural beauty of Colorado from the seat of a mountain bike.
Trips for Kids Southern Colorado is a newly formed non-profit organization that provides bike outings, environmental education and job-skills to kids that would not otherwise be exposed to these types of activities. Our goal is to combine lessons in personal responsibility, achievement and environmental awareness through development of practical skills and the simple act of having fun. Pedal Paradise Inc. is a recycling retail venture that provides youth with training by refurbishing and selling used bicycles, accessories, parts and services. We work closely with local organizations that request bikes for their clients such as Posada, Community Soup Kitchen, Crossroads Managed Care Systems, State of Colorado Division of Adult Parole Community Corrections and YOS Community Re-Entry, Friendly Harbor, Wayside Cross Mission, and School District 60. These recycled bikes provide safe, environmentally friendly and affordable transportation for both children and adults.The Details
