If you have any interest in cycling, volunteering with BNB is a great way to get involved. BNB does wonderful work with programs for young people empowering them and helping to develop leadership skills. Globally, their work is inspiring in providing bicycles and training in lesser developed areas. One example is BNB's providing bicycles and support to healthcare workers in N. Uganda that has allowed the workers to greatly expand the number of patients they see each day as a result of using bicycles versus walking. BNB is also a great group of people to work with! Highly recommended.
