What do we do?

We do: 

  • Mountain Biking Sites Management
  • Mountain Biking Instructor Courses
  • Adventurous Training Activities
  • Youth Care
  • Youth Clubs

Site Management - In more detail:

What do we mean by site management? Well, as a partner with several sites where MTB or Mountain Biking Trails already are - we have asked to take a management or ownership of that area and to make the space larger and better for others.

Our Youth Leaders, hopefully to be yourselves, are a core part of our team.


Adventure Training Activities - In more detail:

We occasionally take youths on a trip to local University of Worcester sites, as part of the school holidays or Pioneer Centres to allow the Youths to take part in travelling on a zipline, to creating a raft, and others.

Activities are dependent on location, staff ability and funding.


Youth Care Services - In more detail:

In terms of Youth Care, we - as a Youth Association - create safe spaces for children and even help them in vulnerable situations.

Scenarios of our help would be:

  • When needing help physically to get back into shape
  • Finding friends
  • Adjusting to new schools
  • Mental Health Issues
  • Early Intervention (5yr+)
  • Learning about opportunities ahead of them

Becoming a Youth Leader

We have covered what we do, and how we can help you, but we have not covered what exactly you would do.

As a Youth Leader, which is ages 12-18, you would be allowed to help out at Youth Clubs, help in site management and similar tasks. And, you will have regular offers to help out in Adventure Training Days.

A Youth Leader is volunteering, so you are not paid unlike our permanent staff.
