Full Cycle, a South Minneapolis non-profit used bicycle shop, incorporates four integrated strategies, with some additional projects, to meet the needs of young adults experiencing homelessness on a spectrum ranging from survival to independence.
Since its inception in 2002, Full Cycle has had over 51,500 interactions with homeless youth.
We sell high-quality used bicycles, new parts and accessories, and provide professional repair services to the general public. This earned income strategy helps fund our program while exemplifying self-sufficiency.
Dear Friends of Full Cycle,
Full Cycle’s mission is to connect with and support homeless youth, our community and our Earth through bikes, business and relationships. When young people in our community who are feeling disconnected, unsupported and misunderstood are given opportunities to prove themselves, they do so in a way that benefits us all.
As Full Cycle continues to grow and experience success with its youth programming and social enterprise, it has become apparent that we need to expand staff to meet the exciting challenges and responsibilities that come with such growth. As the quantity of work Full Cycle has taken on in creating solutions to youth homelessness increases, it is important for us to invite others onto the team to assure our quality of service continues to be exceptional.
We added a full-time regular staff member in the area of classroom instruction in an effort to increase the number of internship opportunities available to young people experiencing homelessness and underemployment. We have also created two new positions in the shop service area that will allow us to expand our hours of operation and participate in more community events. An overall focus on staff expansion with new roles and responsibilities ended the year with a viable plan for seven

I truly believe that Full Cycle has the right people in the right places to do amazing work in the upcoming year. With an undeniable vision, committed and passionate staff, and the generosity and loyalty of our supporters, we look forward to serving more young people and doing more business through our bike shop than ever before.

GRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES
As Full Cycle evolves, we continue to create opportunities for Intern Graduates to continue their employment and professional growth. Over the past few years, we have incorporated the following Graduate positions to keep young people connected and Full Cycle running smooth:
• Graduate Mechanic
• Graduate Classroom Assistant
• 3 – 4 Full Cycle Food Delivery Riders
Only Internship Graduates are eligible to apply for these part- time, seasonal positions. Graduates can apply for more than one position and may reapply multiple times.
Full Cycle’s four complementary strategies allow homeless youth to establish strong relationships with supportive staff members who connect them to community resources and support services. These programs help young people achieve independence and reach a place in their lives where they dare to dream about a future beyond the constraints of homelessness.

1 | PAID INTERNSHIP PROGRAM Youth learn bicycle mechanics and basic business skills while gaining practical job experience during this 6-month paid program (two 3-month phases). Pay-it-Forward Projects teach these youth that they have the ability to give back and help others, even when not all their basic needs are being met.
2 | GROVELAND FOOD FOR YOUTH Youth meet their basic needs through this youth- staffed food shelf, which provides them with access to food, parenting supplies, and connection to additional resources.
3 | FREE BIKE APPOINTMENTS Youth learn to build and maintain their own bicycle—often the first bike they own and their primary means of getting around. These appointments serve as a non-clinical opportunity for staff to build trusting relationships and help young adults make connections to other resources.
4 | STREET OUTREACH Youth connect with Full Cycle outreach workers on the streets. They are provided with information, resources, and referrals to Full Cycle programs to overcome barriers around employment, transportation, and access to food and parenting supplies. Outreach workers provide direct connections to other local programs that help meet basic needs, such as housing and health care.
ADDITIONAL PROJECTS
Borrow a Bike: Full Cycle’s “Borrow a Bike” initiative allows partnering agencies to keep a small fleet of Full Cycle bikes on sight at their agency. Bikes are loaned out for a period of six months during the prime cycling season to be used by youth accessing those agencies as a means of healthy transportation and recreation.
Full Cycle Food Delivery (FCFD): Since 2012, Full Cycle has hired back internship graduates to deliver food by bike to local youth-serving agencies. The food is donated by local businesses and also grown right in Full Cycle’s backyard garden. FCFD combines our work at the bike shop and Groveland Food for Youth by using bikes to build job skills and get food to the young people who need it.
Full Cycle Gardens: In the alley behind Full Cycle Bike Shop you’ll find our own little oasis. Generous seedling donations from Uproot Farm and Wozupi Tribal Gardens each spring, have allowed us to keep our three raised beds in production. Interns and staff help plant and harvest, FCFD Riders bring produce to local shelters and drop-in centers, and all of our participants have access to fresh veggies.
Graduation Rates:
• 9 of 17 interns (53%) graduated from Phase I, the first three months of the internship.
• 8 of 17 interns (47%) graduated from Phase II, the entire six- month internship.

Full Cycle means so much for me. I can be myself and not get judged. I am beyond happy to say I will be graduating today. I am
honored to say I was an intern and as of today... a graduate!
- Full Cycle Graduate
Full Cycle matters because we need this place. I have changed so much within these last six months. I am happy to know that
this place cares. This place is different and unique in its own way. Nothing compares to this place.

Bike Shop Revenue and Program Growth:
All interns visit Twin Cities’ bicycle-based businesses, allowing them to learn how other businesses operate as well as what products and services they offer.
All interns participate in these projects, which develop an appreciation for civic engagement and empower our interns to recognize that they have the ability to give back and help others, even when not all of their basic needs are being met.

Borrow a Bike Program: In coordination with four organizations serving homeless youth, interns fixed up and distributed 20 bikes and scheduled necessary repairs.
FB4K (Free Bikes for Kids): Full Cycle interns spent time fixing up bikes at the shop to donate and onsite for this annual event that collects, repairs, and distributes over 5,000 bikes to metro area children and families in need around the holiday season.
Neighborhood Days: Once a month during summer break, Full Cycle sets a day aside to focus on neighborhood youth and families. This year we fixed 32 bikes and gave 11 bikes away, free of charge.
Wozupi Tribal Gardens: Full Cycle interns built and donated bikes to the Wozupi organic farm, a Tribally Supported Agriculture program (TSA).
Bike Shop Tours: Interns tour the shops, asking questions of staff and introducing themselves as potential future applicants. Tours included: Cycles for Change, Express Bikes, Freewheel Midtown, The Hub Bike Co-op, Recovery Bike Shop, Spokes, Sunrise Cyclery, and Venture North.
Documentary Film Project: Youth interns worked with filmmaker Michael Smith and Emily Goldberg in partnership with Independent Filmmakers Project MN to learn filming techniques and shoot footage for “Street Level,” a documentary about youth homelessness.
Donaldson Bike Sale: Interns worked one-on-one with Quality Bicycle Products’ sales representatives for our annual bike sale and donation drive.
Quality Bicycle Products: Interns tour the facility and meet with Human Resources managers, receiving tips and training on getting a job.
Shinola Site Visit: After doing research and preparing questions, Full Cycle interns sat down with professional cyclist and frame builder Sky Yeager for an informational interview and tour of Full Cycle.
U of M ReUse-A-Palooza: In partnership with the University of Minnesota’s ReUse Center, Full Cycle participated in its annual ReUse-A-Palooza campus-wide bike sale, selling bikes and accessories to support our program. Youth interns were given the opportunity to practice their sales and professional skills while being exposed to campus life.
This place has truly grown on me and with me. I only wish to influence strength, hope and inner power to the youth that see us
every day so that they can take that with them wherever they may go in life, good or bad. To show them that it’s OK to be themselves.
- Full Cycle Graduate
Full Cycle values partnerships with diverse local organizations in the public, private, and non-profit sectors. These partnerships provide interns the opportunity to learn the importance of making connections, leveraging resources, and collaborating with local community members.
Interns and past graduates get together for bike rides, allowing them to develop and grow their interest in biking, discover new areas and different styles of biking. These rides help to put balance in their lives, and build deeper team camaraderie, while getting to know each other outside “the office.” The rides also allow staff to reconnect with past interns and track their successes and progression toward independence.

Bike Camping Trip: Full Cycle staff, interns, and past graduates spent the night in cabins at Elm Creek and enjoyed two days of mountain biking and riding the paved path through this beautiful park.
BMX Trails: Pump tracks, berms, and dirt jumps are annual highlights for many interns!
Ride to the Depot: A 16-mile ride along the Greenway to a chemical-free, non-profit coffee house in Hopkins.
Thrivent Tour: Full Cycle staff and six interns participated in this long-distance tour, which raised money to support the work we do. Youth interns were given the choice to ride 30-, 67-, or 100- mile routes, or volunteer as ride support.
Quality Bicycle Products gives financial and in-kind support for our youth run, social enterprise bike shop, facility tours, and HR trainings. Quality Bicycle Products staff are also regular participants in volunteer bike-build nights at Full Cycle’s shop.
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans supported Full Cycle’s growth through multiple fundraising strategies, including a long-distance cycling tour, bike drive, individual employee giving, and Thrivent Foundation support.
Equal Exchange Coffee builds our capacity to get incredible amounts of work done while jacked up on their delicious coffee.
Otto Bremer Foundation supported a 3-year growth plan and Full Cycle completed its third year of the plan in 2015. The Foundation allowed us to increase the quantity and quality of services we provide to homeless youth. The shop and classroom
are looking better than ever and the youth we work with are benefitting from a higher quality employment experience.
Kill Kancer provided financial support and valuable connections to support Full Cycle Food Delivery programs which employs Full Cycle Graduates, increases access to healthy food for young people experiencing homelessness, and focuses on cancer prevention through education and healthy lifestyle choices.
Minneapolis Public Schools accessed Full Cycle to support several initiatives throughout 2015 to engage more students in cycling.
Bike Drives and Donations from Donaldson Co., FB4K, and Tonka Ski and Cycle also supported our important work in 2015.
Brad & Pete’s Excellent Adventure was a gathering of friends for an amazing night of food, drinks, and giving back — our thanks and appreciation goes to Brad Bauer and Pete Glerum.
A special thank you goes to Sister Camelot, Turtle Bread, Rustica, and Produce Exchange for their generous donations of healthy food to support Full Cycle Food Delivery.
Thank you for giving me the skills I need as a mechanic and a being to everything I love doing. Being here is like a key to my
happiness, it connects me with everything of who I am. I give my greatest amount of gratitude to everyone here at the shop.
Thank you for watching me grow.
- Full Cycle Graduate Mechanic
After interacting with Full Cycle Delivery riders in the community, we brought our two young children to the shop to learn more about the organization. They now know one more way that
community can be supported and they witnessed kind deeds being done. This is inspiring to our entire family. Thank you!

I truly believe my story is one of success and miracles. Full Cycle was a huge part of that and I want to reiterate all of my appreciation for you, everyone at Full Cycle, and for the program
itself. It was and is a safe place that will always be dear to my heart. You have directly improved my life in many ways, and for
that I cannot express in words my gratitude.

This is like a second home for me. We’re family here at Full Cycle. Thank you for helping me during these hard times.

Austin! After hitting some bumps in the road during his internship at Full Cycle, Austin was connected to resources that helped him achieve sobriety. His ongoing sobriety has allowed him to get a full time job and live independently. Austin’s relationship with staff at Full Cycle, along with his love for bikes and cycling keeps him coming back to the shop and staying connected.
Steven! Upon graduation from Full Cycle, Steven obtained a management position at a sandwich shop and moved into his own apartment. Equally important, he was able to mend relationships with key family members and move past conflicts that originally contributed to his homelessness.
Thomas! After successfully completing his internship, Thomas was hired back as a graduate mechanic for another six months in the shop where he continued to grow into a very skilled mechanic and reliable employee. The next season, Thomas applied for a regular seasonal mechanic position at Full Cycle and was by far our most qualified candidate. Thomas currently has two jobs and is well on his way to moving into his own place.
Coming to work during a rough time in my life, being homeless after two years is not easy. Being in a nonjudgmental environment
gives me peace of mind. Everyone is so kind and helpful. I feel a sense of belonging.
- Full Cycle Intern
Full Cycle is a great addition to the community. I like the fact that they expose people to new places, ideas and skills. I can
see it growing big! Mad love!
