The KidsRepair Program is a hands-on, minds-on learning project for young men and women!MissionThe mission of the Kids Repair Program is to provide positive experiences and educational opportunities in bicycle safety, repair and maintenance for youth in the Lansing area. The Kids Repair Program is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization teaching bike safety, repair and maintenance to students 9-17 years of age. The program is split into three levels of instruction: the Basics level teaches problem recognition, the Intermediate level teaches how to fix the problem, and the Advanced level improves skills and provides students with options for fixing the problem. This ongoing neighborhood volunteer project requires an application of permission by a parent or guardian for acceptance into the program. Once a student's application is approved, an orientation and registration session is held to provide information to the students and their parents/guardians. Classes with planned lessons are taught and supervised by certified volunteer instructors. Each student is provided 20 hours of class instruction and receives a "Certificate of Achievement" upon completing the course.
