Get Involved

How will you champion the next generation?

Cycling supporters are the heart of Fresh Coast. Every pathway below is a tangible way to show up for Michigan's young riders.

Pathways

Seven ways to get involved — pick what fits.

Volunteer

Hand out water at a race, help load bikes, or staff a skills clinic. A few hours creates a race day for a whole team of kids.

Sign Up to Volunteer

Partner

Bike shops, trail organizations, and cycling groups can partner with Fresh Coast to reach more families and strengthen local programs.

Become a Partner

Sponsor

Fund a jersey, a loaner bike, a race entry fee, or a scholarship. Sponsorship creates a specific opportunity for a specific kid.

Sponsor a Rider

Nominate a Rider

Know a kid with a story worth telling? Nominate them to be featured on Rider Stories and celebrated by the community.

Community Champions

Not sponsors. Champions.

Bike shops, teams, race organizers, trail groups, healthcare and performance organizations, and Michigan businesses all make youth cycling possible. We don't put their names in a footer — we call them what they are: Community Champions.
