Velo City works through a three E policy: Explore, Empower, Envision. Thus, the Soundview Park Bikesplorations summer program will offer high school students from the surrounding Bronx neighborhood an experiential, community-service learning opportunity to explore the connections between active design, environmental justice and health outcomes by bicycle. Our cycling-based curriculums are designed to empower participants through education - about the area's history, planning policies and concepts, and the work of various community-based groups - as well as by providing access to innovators in the built environment fields working within their community through guest lectures. And lastly, our programs culminate with a project that encourages students to draw upon all they have learned to envision solutions which they share with their community at an open house and bike tour.
