The Police Athletic League of Kansas City, KS is a community-based non-profit located in the urban core of Kansas City, KS. We provide a safe, supportive environment for youth ages 18 and under to engage in constructive, positive ways with police officers, other members of the community, and each other. Our goal is to connect cops, kids and community.
The Lowrider Bicycle Club and Leadership KCK Chapter was founded by Martin Cervantes Sr. (Mr. C). The club works with at-risk youth who are involved in the court system and/or failing at school. Each club member is provided with a customizable bike that they work on and can keep if they stay out of trouble and improve their grades. Participants learn life skills and hear from community members who share their stories. They can take their bikes home when they present their high school diploma or GED certificate.
“I want them to come back and mentor another young person,” says Mr. C. Club members also repair donated bicycles and give them to kids in the community whose parents may not be able to purchase a bicycle. For more information about the club, email Mr. C at lowrider@palkck.com.
