Opportunities

Mentor

The mentoring program uses adult volunteers to commit to supporting, guiding, and being a friend to a young person for at least the duration of a program season. By becoming part of the social network of adults and community members who care about the youth, the mentor can help youth develop and reach positive academic, career, and personal goals.

How you help

Without our amazing mentors and volunteers, Start the Cycle would not be possible! We always welcome new mentors for our summer and winter programs.
About us

Start The Cycle is a group cycling program in Marquette County that introduces youth to a life full of success through winter fat tire biking and summer mountain biking. The group’s trained mentors provide the structure for participants to achieve goals to cultivate a sense of belonging and resiliency. The team practices weekly and through team-building activities they emphasize the value of teamwork, achievement through effort, the need for boundaries, establishing goals, and planning to achieve those goals. By providing positive experiences for participants, other objectives of the program include: improving the youth’s grades in school, expanding social skills, and building trust.
