Last winter, Indego, the Better Bike Share Partnership, and the City of Philadelphia provided five organizations with mini-grants of $1,000 to support their general operations and programming. The recipients were based throughout Indego’s service area and worked with people of all ages to provide free resources, host workshops, and more.

At Indego, we believe in the power of bicycles to transform communities and inspire the next generation. Throughout 2024, we doubled down on our commitment to engaging with youth across Philadelphia, creating opportunities for education, creativity, and connection.  

With help from amazing partners like the Franklin Institute, the School District of Philadelphia, and local organizations, we’ve been able to give young people a voice and share fun, hands-on experiences that showcase the joy of cycling. These efforts were made possible through collaborations with Indego, the City of Philadelphia, and the Bicycle Coalition, all part of the Better Bike Share Partnership (BBSP) — a program aimed at increasing access to and use of shared micromobility systems in low-income and BIPOC communities.
