Earn a Bike
Earn-A-Bike is just what it sounds like, instead of giving someone a bike for free, or selling it, you make someone earn the bike. This is particularly effective for teaching youths the value of work and the appreciation of the bicycle. There is no better equity than blood, sweat and tears.
Bikes Not Bombs
This is a pre-employment training program that young people love and come to voluntarily! Earn-A-Bikers, age 12 and up, each enter into a contract with us, selecting a bike that s/he will rebuild, and agreeing to a "price" to be paid in hours worked at the Center. One fifth of those hours are community service work, the rest are spent studying bicycle safety and mechanics, and repairing the bicycle.

this was supposed to be a joke, sorry
Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective
We partnered with a local after school and summer program called YouthCity to offer our Earn-A-Bike classes. Kids sign up with YouthCity to take several classes besides Earn-A-Bike. This has provided a word of mouth system through a larger count of kids, as a result, we have never had trouble filling the class. We also set up a partnership with a local Powder Coating facility that gives us a bulk rate.
As part of an the YouthCity Apprenticeship Program which deals with high schoolers, we follow the principal of working on other bikes before they get to take theirs home. We also ran the class for elementary and middle school aged children and found that if they could just rebuild a bike -- that effort was good enough to earn the bike. After a day of school, they aren't up for another class, so a fairly loose structure is also appropriate.
