Jr el Tour INC

TO CREATE A LONG-TERM POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE HEALTH AND FITNESS OF AT-RISK CHILDREN BY DEVELOPING AND FOSTERING A CONNECTION TO CYCLING. WE CATER TO CHILDREN STRUGGLING WITH ISSUES SUCH AS OBESITY, INACTIVITY, LOW SELF-ESTEEM, FINANCIAL HARDSHIP, and LEARNING DIFFERENCES. MANY OF OUR CHILDREN WOULD NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY OR THE CONFIDENCE TO PURSUE CYCLING IF NOT FOR INVOLVEMENT IN OUR PROGRAM. OUR GOAL IS TO GIVE CHILDREN ALL THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO REACH AND MAINTAIN THEIR HEALTH AND FITNESS GOALS IN A FUN, ORGANIZED, AND SUPPORTIVE TEAM ENVIRONMENT. WE STRIVE TO PROVIDE HIGH-QUALITY COACHING AND INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION TO ALL THE CHILDREN IN THE PROGRAM, SO THAT THEY CAN BECOME RESPONSIBLE AND SAFE CYCLISTS. WE BELIEVE FAMILY SUPPORT IS IMPERATIVE TO MAKING LASTING CHANGES, SO PARENT PARTICIPATION IS ENCOURAGED ON ALL RIDES AND IN THE EL TOUR RACE. OUR PROGRAM OPERATES ON MULTIPLE LEVELS OVER THE COURSE OF 10 MONTHS OR MORE, DEPENDING ON THE INTEREST OF THE CHILD AND FAMILY.
