MISSION

TWO WHEEL VIEW provides life changing experiences for young people. TWO WHEEL VIEW is a mission driven organization that creates opportunities for young people to learn and practice lessons in leadership, health and wellness, self esteem, achievement, and environmental stewardship through their participation in bicycle education programs and expeditions.

The mission of Two Wheel View is to educate young people on the environment and local culture of areas in N. America and abroad through their participation in educational bicycle programs and expeditions.

TWO WHEEL VIEW believes that all youth should have the opportunity to expand their physical and cultural boundaries. There are many youth, due to financial or social limitations, that are never exposed to what may provide the greatest source of learning – real life experiences that bring home valuable insights and logical steps for positive change.

By exposing young people to new challenges, other cultures and diverse environments through an intense hands-on experience, TWO WHEEL VIEW believes we can open young people's eyes to new ways of thinking and positively impact them to create positive change in their own lives and communities for the future.

TWO WHEEL VIEW offers a range of programs from local after-school programs to international bicycle expeditions.  All programs are free for youth and are supported through individual donations, grants, and volunteer support.
