Bike Building

Bike Building for Kids in Need is a charity-based corporate team building program that combines collaboration, hands-on problem solving, and direct community impact. Since 1983, clients working with Venture Up have donated more than 15,000 bicycles to underserved children, including high-achieving kids who lack financial resources or come from single-parent households. The experience creates a shared sense of purpose while reinforcing teamwork in a fast-paced, engaging environment.

Charity Building for Kids in Need

How Bike CSR Team Building Works

Each Bike Building event begins with Strategic Games–style Energizers that mix and re-mix participants through fun, fast-moving activities. These warm-up challenges engage the group and set the tone for collaboration. After the Energizers, teams receive a child’s name and begin building, decorating, and testing a brand-new bicycle, along with creating a personalized poster card for the child who will receive it. The process is challenging, highly collaborative, and designed to keep teams focused and engaged from start to finish.


During this charity team building experience, teams learn to:

  • Collaborate effectively across departments
  • Communicate clearly under time pressure
  • Work together to solve hands-on challenges
  • Build shared ownership around a common goal
  • Have FUN while giving back to the community

Bike Building for Small and Large Corporate Teams

Bike Building for Kids in Need is designed to scale easily for small teams or large corporate events. The program is inclusive and accessible, making it well suited for mixed groups and leadership teams. Participants gain an immediate sense of shared accomplishment, and many executives describe the experience as one of the most rewarding professional events they have participated in.

Charity Team Building Logistics and Impact

Events typically run 2 to 4 hours and include new bikes, helmets, tools, and decoration materials. All bicycles are safety tested by teams and Venture Up staff. Children ages 5 to 10 may arrive onsite to receive their bikes, or a partner organization can accept the bikes on the children’s behalf. Planning, production, set-up, break-out, materials, and staffing are fully managed, ensuring every bike meets safety standards and every team effort creates real impact.
