About
Blackstone Bicycle Works-Blackstone Bicycle Works is a bustling community bike shop that each year empowers approximately 180 boys and girls from Chicago's south side--teaching them mechanical skills, job skills, business literacy and how to become responsible community members. In our year-round 'earn and learn' youth program, participants earn bicycles and accessories for their work in the shop. In addition, our youths receive after-school tutoring, mentoring, internships and externships, college and career advising, and scholarships.
