The PUSH! Pop-Up program is our dynamic outreach service, designed to bring bike and scooter maintenance skills and road safety information directly to the community.

Rolling into local skate parks and youth-centric events with our fully equipped mobile bike van, we offer young people the chance to learn essential maintenance techniques right where they ride. From adjusting brakes to fixing flats, our skilled youth mentors are on hand to share their knowledge and introduce participants to the wider world of PUSH! programs.

PUSH! Pop-Up is also a gateway to the comprehensive support services offered by Younity. Whether young people are exploring further personal development opportunities, delving into case management, or accessing well-being services, our team is there to guide them toward the resources they need to thrive.

TOP GEAR is a nine-week course where you'll learn to build your own bike from scratch. In our kitted-out mobile or onsite workshop, our youth mentors will teach you not just how to assemble and customise your bike but also important skills like working as a team, leading, setting goals, and managing yourself.

This program isn't just about the mechanics—it's about coming together, achieving something great, and getting ready for bigger challenges in life.  The program will be full of opportunities to discover your strengths while developing practical, teamwork and leadership skills essential for learning and life.

At the end, celebrate your hard work with a special lunch and take home the bike you built, along with a certificate to show what you've accomplished. If you're ready to learn, create, and grow, TOP GEAR is for you.

First Gear is a practical, one-session introductory program focused on bike maintenance and road safety that will give young people a taste of personal and social development.

On the day, youth mentors will offer support and guidance, facilitating discussions and activities that aim to build basic life skills like teamwork and problem-solving. This aspect of the program is about starting to build the participants' confidence and helping them see the value of community and personal growth.

We understand that one day is just the beginning, so while First Gear introduces bike maintenance and safety, it also lays the groundwork for further development. It's an entry point into our broader range of programs or those offered by schools, aimed at deepening these skills and exploring new ones.

First Gear sets the stage for ongoing growth and learning.
