Come out and show the youth support and encouragement towards Chicago's booming cycling community.

APNC has achieved the following through their youth investments:

Formed the community's first-ever youth-driven bicycle cooperative called Bikes N' Roses in which APNC youth leaders are creating leadership and job opportunities for youth in our community by teaching professional skills like bicycle maintenance and repair, and holding "community rides" to get more people out riding their bikes and promote biking as a cleaner cheaper mode of transit

Launched MOSAIYC (Murals on Streets + Alleys Inspired by Youth Creators) a project in which youth partner with community residents to design and paint murals on garage doors in areas where violent incidents have occurred to promote anti-violence messages and lift up the value of young people in the community
