Vamos al Waterfront
Mountain biking is presented as a premier outdoor activity in Bellingham, but financial and logistical barriers make it an activity for the privileged. On a weekly basis, Vamos takes a group of Latine youth to the Bellingham Waterfront Pump track. With the park’s jump lines and skills zones, students get to learn the basics of mountain biking and gain technical skills to participate in our Galbraith mountain biking program. In partnership with the Whatcom Mountain Bike Coalition, we provide transportation, bikes, helmets, safety gear, instruction, food, and all things necessary for this free-of-cost program.
Vamos a Galbraith
Vamos outdoors takes a group of 13 Latine youth to the popular Galbraith Mountain every week during the spring, summer, and fall months. Participants get to explore and enjoy the network of trails accessible to a diversity of skill levels. In partnership with the Whatcom Mountain Bike Coalition, we provide transportation, bikes, helmets, safety gear, instruction, food, and all things necessary for this free-of-cost program. These excursions foster cultural empowerment, confidence, and leadership skills. Participants get a chance to share experiences in their native language with representative mentors, make new friends, and build their sense of place within Whatcom County.
