Trips for Kids National is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization that aims to provide transformative experiences for young people, particularly those who are most in need. Their mission is to promote healthy lifestyles, environmental awareness, and personal empowerment through activities that are accessible to all communities. With a focus on breaking social barriers, Trips for Kids utilizes the power of the bike to inspire self-esteem, instill environmental values, and encourage healthy living.

One of their popular programs is the Discovery Trail Rides, where children can explore and connect with nature. They also offer Earn-a-Bike Workshops, which provide hands-on learning experiences to help children build their own bikes. Additionally, their ReCyclery Community Bike Shops provide a space for children to access affordable, reliable bicycles.

Trips for Kids was founded in 1988 by Marilyn Price and has since expanded to serve thousands of children across the United States every year. The organization has received recognition for their impactful work, including being honored as a CNN Hero award recipient in 2015.
