🚴‍♂️🎉 Grab your bikes and join us for the Prevention Bike Bash on Saturday, June 27, from 9 a.m.–12 p.m. at AirPark Columbus! Families can bring their own bikes or take a test ride on an AirPark Pedals bike while enjoying hot dogs, popcorn, games, prizes, and plenty of fun for all ages.

We’re excited to partner with AirPark Columbus for this free community event on Vickers Drive (parking available at the Poshard Drive entrance). Be sure to stop by for a chance to win prizes and snag an AirPark Pedals Ambassador T-shirt as we celebrate healthy, active lifestyles together.

We can’t wait to see you there! 🚲☀️

Moments like these are more than just summer fun—they’re opportunities for youth to grow, build confidence, and create memories that last a lifetime. ☀️💙

Foundation For Youth provides safe, engaging, and enriching experiences that help thousands of local youth each year build friendships, discover new interests, and reach their full potential. But we can’t do it alone.

As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of donors, volunteers, and community partners to continue creating life-changing experiences for youth in our community. Your support helps ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

🎉 CELEBRATING 5 YEARS TOGETHER!

Brooklyn and Cathy recently celebrated their 5th Match Anniversary with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bartholomew County! These photos show the pair at one of their favorite places--the Bartholomew County Public Library! 📚

Cathy (Big Sister) shared that one of the greatest joys of being matched with Brooklyn has been watching her grow up and seeing her self-confidence increase since their match began in 2021. Along with checking out books from the library, they enjoy visiting local coffee shops for treats and spending time baking their own delicious goodies together. In fact, baking has become one of their favorite activities, and Brooklyn's skills have grown so much that she can now make amazing brownies all by herself! 👩🏼‍🍳

🎊 CONGRATULATIONS, Brooklyn and Cathy, on five years of friendship, growth, and fun memories! 👏 We can't wait to celebrate with you again next year!

Want to be part of a story like this? If you've ever considered mentoring, now is a great time to get involved! Our youth need mentors now more than ever, and they're not looking for perfection--they just need someone who will show up, be consistent, and spend time with them. Over time, those shared moments can help build confidence, develop new skills, and create lasting connections. 💚

Men’s health is more than physical strength — it’s mental health, emotional wellness, healthy coping, and making choices that support your future. Substance use can impact stress, sleep, relationships, mood, and long-term health.

This month, let’s encourage men and boys to choose connection, support, movement, rest, and healthy outlets over alcohol, va**ng, or drug use. Real strength is asking for help, choosing peace, and taking care of yourself. Be the Majority, refuse to use drugs and alcohol. 🌟

Before they get behind the wheel, make sure they know the risks. Talking early and often about alcohol, drugs, and driving can help teens make safer choices — not only as drivers, but as passengers too. Remind them: never drive impaired, and never ride with someone who is.
