 Express Bike Shop is
celebrating our 20th Birthday! We are planning a series of events including a
community celebration on June 11, 2015 to
thank our customers and bike donors, highlight the successful partnerships that
made Express Bike possible and reconnect with apprenticeship graduates from the
past 20 years. Express Bike Shop, a social enterprise and youth development
program, takes used bikes, previously sitting idle in garages or fated for the
scrap yard, and returns them to productive service. Over the past 20
years, we have collected and refurbished, re-purposed or recycled over 20,000
bicycles and over 300 Saint Paul youth have completed a paid
apprenticeships. Follow Express Bike on Facebook. Check back
frequently for more information on 20th Birthday
events and join us on June 11th!
Ignite Afterschool’s bill to establish a competitive grant program for afterschool programs across MN has passed through the House (HF 947) and Senate (SF 1017) Education Committees, and now Ignite is pushing to get the bill into the Omnibus Education Budget, due to be released on April 14th. Unfortunately, the House and Senate Education budgets are much tighter than anyone projected, so the state needs a huge grassroots push if we want any afterschool funding this legislative session.
