About

The Giving Wheel Coalition (TGWC) is a youth‑development 501 (3)(c) nonprofit dedicated to empowering underserved student‑athletes through the transformative power of cycling, mentorship, and academic support.


We believe every young person deserves access to opportunity — regardless of income, background, or circumstance.


Our work centers on one simple idea:  A bike can change a life.

Our Mission

The Giving Wheel Coalition empowers underserved youth through the transformative power of cycling, academic support, and mentorship — helping student‑athletes build confidence, character, and pathways to education, careers, and lifelong wellbeing.

Why We Exist

Too many young people face barriers that limit their ability to participate in sports, succeed academically, or connect with positive mentors.

Cycling — a sport proven to improve physical health, mental wellbeing, and academic engagement — is often out of reach due to high costs and limited access.


TGWC exists to remove those barriers and open doors.


We provide the tools, resources, and community young people need to grow on and off the bike.

Our Approach

We support the whole student‑athlete through five core pillars:


1. Access & Equity - We remove financial barriers by providing bikes, gear, race fees, travel support, and maintenance.


2. Athletic Development - We offer coaching, group rides, skills clinics, and competitive cycling pathways.


3. Academic Success - We help student‑athletes thrive in school through tutoring, study hall, and college/career guidance.


4. Mentorship & Leadership - We connect youth with caring adults, role models, and professional mentors who help them grow.


5. Health & Wellbeing - We promote physical, emotional, and social wellness through sport, community, and positive relationships.

Our Vision


A world where every young person has access to the bike, the support, and the opportunities they need to thrive as athletes, students, and leaders.

Scholastics

When student-athletes act as mentors, everyone wins. Those athletes learn how to become better leaders, their mentees learn valuable life lessons, and their communities experience the benefits of young leaders. TGWC provides the resources and infrastructure to promote and facilitate peer mentoring throughout our various programs. Contact us to learn how you can volunteer to lend a hand.

Athletics

We strive to provide our mentored athletes with the tools, resources and skills to take on all challenges based on our leadership team's hands on experience.
TGWC embraces pillars of positive youth development through sport to inspire and nurture the growth of the whole athlete – emotional wellbeing, academic success, civic participation, career planning, and beyond.

Apprenticeship

TGWC help bring together motivated and deserving youths with internship and apprenticeship program to develop and hone professional skill in a wide range of professional fields. Our mentors help our athletes to find the best approach and path to secure such skills.
