GO-Buffalo's Recycle-A-Bicycle program is an after school initiative for at-risk youth within the city of Buffalo, winning the “Bronze Commitment to Education” award from the Buffalo Alliance for Education in 2007. Recycle-A-Bicycle teaches up to 40 students per semester from Monday to Thursday. Through GO-Buffalo’s Recycle-A-Bicycle programs with Baker Victory Services, Bennett Park Montessori, Big Brother Big Sister, the Buffalo Youth Hostel, Enterprise Charter School, Harvey Austin Middle School, the Massachusetts Avenue Project, North Park Middle Academy and public schools 18, 27 and 77, students learn about bicycle repair and maintenance, as well as safety, health and the environment, while building their own bicycles from refurbished parts.
Recycle-A-Bicycle gives youth the chance to lean basic mechanic and problem solving skills, learn how their actions can impact their health and the health of their communities and have a positive impact on their environment through reducing the amount of used bicycles entering the waste stream, curtailing car emissions and circulating hundreds of bicycles back into the community.
