About the program The Bike Project is a community-based program to support young people currently involved or at risk of contact with the justice system, with a structured short-term program that engages participants through basic bike mechanic skills whilst connecting with a network of services and supports for sustainable change. The aim of the project is to engage participants in a pro social activity in their local community to build transferable skills, connect with positive role models, and build pathways to employment or education.
