	The Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective respectfully requests your consideration of a grant in the amount of $8,000, to support our Earn-a-Bike after school and summer program. While the Earn-a-Bike program is found in other cities across the country, since 2003, we are the only ones offering this unique and rewarding youth program to Salt Lake.		The [[Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective]] respectfully requests your consideration of a grant in the amount of $8,000, to support our Earn-a-Bike after school and summer program. While the Earn-a-Bike program is found in other cities across the country, since 2003, we are the only ones offering this unique and rewarding youth program to Salt Lake.

	The program involves participants from other after school programs such as YouthCity and the YWCA. They come to our community bike shop and pick out a donated bike, over the next seven weeks they dismantle everything and learn how to reassemble it. At the end they take a safety class, and upon successful completion of everything we give them a lock, helmet and they keep their bike.

	The purpose of this grant would be to fund a year of Earn-a-Bike courses~~.

Our Earn-a-Bike program provides youth with a positive after school environment, ~~bicycle~~ safety training, and a healthy means of transportation ~~to other destinations~~, allowing them access to other after school programs. The students learn how to rebuild their bicycle from scratch, and upon successful completion of a safety course, they get to keep their finished bicycle, a brand new lock and helmet.

	When the SLCBC first started the Earn-a-Bike program in 2003, we wanted the program to run year round, four days a week. This year, we are not only meeting that goal -- we are pushing ~~beyong~~ it. Earn-a-Bike classes run Monday-Thursday during the school-year. During the summer we want to offer four classes maximizing shop use to the morning and afternoon. We have successfully lowered our student to teacher ratio, and would like to sustain this for each course. Additionally, we would like the proper tools, supplies, and safety equipment to be available to each student.

	Twenty-three percent of Utah’s K-12 youth are responsible for taking care of themselves after school, and the small offering of local after school programs are not meeting Utah’s demand. Youth in self-care spend an average of seven hours per week unsupervised. Of these children, 19% would be likely to participate in an after-school program if one were available to them in their community (After 3pm Study). After school programs have crime reduction potential by engaging youth at the time of day when Juvenile violence peaks (US department of Justice). Additionally, students who participate in extracurricular activities achieve better grades, have lower rates of truancy, attain higher levels of achievement in college and feel more attached to their schools.

	Providers of youth programming in Salt Lake City frequently cite the lack of transportation to and from programming as an obstacle to youth involvement. Low-income youth are particularly impacted. Even so, bicycles still remain a viable and often essential means of transportation for youth, allowing them access to recreational activities, after school programs and part-time jobs. The Earn-a-Bike program solves their transportation problem, supplying a way to get around that is independent of bus schedules, promotes health and wellness, and has little to no environmental impact.
