We hope to start a program that will recycle bikes by training and hiring at risk youths in the upper valley and repair bikes. The program would include workshops in resumes and leadership skills and a bike marathon. At the end of the summer they will sell the bikes at the Sustainability Move-In sale. We need a lot of help this Winter in creating a business plan, so blitz back if you're interested in helping with this effort or staying updated on the project! ..~`*`~..~`*`~..~`*`~..~`*`~..~`*`~..~`*`~..~`*`~..~`*`~~`.~`*`~..~`*`~..~`*`~..
