The BTC Adopt-a-Bike program is meant to give children in need a bicycle, helmet, and a bike lock. The bike presentation has typically occurred on the last day of school in December, depending on the weather.

The children receiving bicycles attend Title One schools located in Washington County Oregon.  Each year, schools are chosen and staff sets the criteria for the kids to "earn" a bike. This could range from writing an essay, improving attendance, turning in homework on time. 

This year we are working with seven schools in Washington County.  We will be presenting our Adopt-A-Bike bikes to K-3 students during the holiday season, and to the 4th - 6th grade student in the spring, just in time for riding season. Each child will also receive safe rider instruction through WashCo Bikes in the coming months, 

The number of AAB bike packages given out each year is dependent on the amount of donations we collect during our campaign running November and December. In 2017-2018 we gave out over 200 bike packages and we hope to match or exceed that with the 2019-2020 program. 

WashCo Bikes is in a growth phase. We are seeking individuals who are passionate about our mission, and with leadership, organizational management, and communication skills from diverse backgrounds who fully represent the all facets of the bicycling culture in Washington County. Specifically, we are seeing individuals with experience in business, finance or accounting (for the Treasurer position), as well as project management, law, human resources, and general nonprofit management.
