“As a first time volunteer for the iCan Bike program, located at the Eastside YMCA in Taylors, SC my experience was wonderful. The program was organized for both the riders as well as the volunteers. The volunteers were given thorough and clear explanation of the program beforehand as well as daily prior to the session. I felt very supported if I had questions and the staff for the program was very friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging.

My rider was timid in the beginning of week and by the end of the week had accomplished his goal of riding all by himself. His confidence had grown and he was so proud of himself by the end of the week. This program truly encourages the riders to be accomplished riders by the end of the week. The program is structured to help build the riders skills throughout the week but to also build self-confidence, self-esteem and self-worth and it CERTAINLY did all of those things so that the rider could continue to build his/her riding skills at home. It was a great experience.”
