Partnerships
Bikes Not Bombs
Bikes Not Bombs partnered with the Boston University Center for Future Readiness from January 1 to June 30, 2024, to provide career development and future readiness programming for youth apprentices from historically underserved Boston neighborhoods, including Dorchester, Mattapan, and Roxbury. Through this partnership, BNB provided a platform for CFR to deliver evidence-based career development lessons during youth staff meetings and workshops, while sharing evaluation data on youth outcomes. In return, CFR provided a comprehensive career development curriculum covering self-exploration, career exploration, and planning skills, along with professional development for BNB staff, evaluation tools to measure youth progress, civic engagement resources, and grant support for laptop purchases to help advance youth careers.
