Make a Contribution
Presently operating 32 programs in urban, suburban and rural communities from Los Angeles to Boston, NYPUM programs are run by non-profit or government youth service agencies. NYPUM's commitment to America's youth has never been stronger as the obstacles facing children today have never been greater. We pledge to continue our work with youth by using the minibike as a means of getting them involved in a healthy peer group with positive adult role models.
The National Youth Project Using Minibikes is able to share The Power of Dreams® thanks to the support of generous individual and corporate donors.

A New Partner!
National Youth Project Using Minibikes (NYPUM) and the California State Parks’ Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division have partnered to provide mentoring and education for urban youth through off-highway motorcycle recreation.
Using the trail bike in the outdoors, NYPUM captures a young person’s imagination, enthusiasm and harnesses it to promote positive change and growth. Combined with possibly the largest off-highway riding area in the U.S., California youth get the chance to explore much more of the state they live in.
For 50 years, NYPUM has worked nationally with community youth service organizations, including government, nonprofit, and faith-based groups, to help mentor youth using its time-tested mentoring program. For more information about the partnership, click here.
