LifeCycles
The mission of LifeCycles is to build young men and women of character through a Christ-centered bicycle touring experience for teenagers. The organization also includes a mentoring program meant to guide them into adulthood.
VOLUNTEER
LifeCycles needs committed men and women with a heart for mentoring teenagers in a Christ-centered bicycling experience. You can make a lasting difference in the life of a teen.
Commitment: Tuesday or Thursday for three hours, Saturday for five hours, Sunday, in church, for three hours, or multiple days on a special trip, which occurs in the summer. Your commitment and dedication can make a lasting impact on the young girls and boys you encounter.
