Launched in 2025, Salida Youth Cycling (SYC) is a new program from SMT to teach mountain bike skills to local youth. The program’s goals to empower more kids in our community to enjoy Salida’s vast trail network, and to build perseverance, leadership and teamwork skills.
SYC is a continuation of the long-running Absolute Youth Cycling (AYC) program. Read more about the transition here.
We’re looking for paid coaches and volunteer chaperones to support SYC this season. The more adults we have, the more kids we can engage in the program.
______
Chaperones: No coaching experience needed. You’re there to help herd kiddos and offer basic support.
Coaches: Coaches teach bike skills, build confidence, and help young riders grow. Paid roles for certified instructors. SMT can provide PMBIA Level 1 certification, so this is an awesome opportunity to level up your skills while giving back.
If you love bikes, kids, and being part of something rad in our community, we’d love to have you involved.
