The Kishwaukee Kiwanis Club recently donated eight gently-used bikes and brand new helmets and locks to Adventure Works. Adventure Works is a non-profit outdoor behavioral health organization for at-risk youth in our community. Their mission is to assist youth in overcoming challenges and becoming healthy adults through adventure-based counseling. “The bikes are a great addition to our adventure therapy activities,” says Executive Director Lynette Spencer, “we look forward to our first ride.” Located adjacent to a bike trail, the bikes can be used periodically as part of their weekly programming for youth, ages 6-18.
The Kishwaukee Kiwanis are involved in other biking projects in the community, including their annual, “Biking with Beanzie” bike ride. Contributions and proceeds from the ride help to fund pathway, greenway, and other community service projects throughout DeKalb County.
