Sopo Empowers Kids to Help Each Other

We've got some truly amazing young mechanics turning wrenches at the shop. They help each other with repair projects. Some have built bikes for their brothers and sisters who have been walking to summer school all summer long. Our International Rescue Committee interns are soaking up as much information as possible so they can start a community bike shop in Clarkston. Zay, who's been with us since the shop was in the living room, turned out last weekend and pretty much ran the place. We are thrilled that our youngest community members are genius bike mechanics and compassionate teachers.
