Our Beneficiary

Shifting Gears is a women-led & women-directed non-profit that is creating welcoming recreation experiences that encourage confidence, wellness, growth and joy. Our inclusive cycling and hiking programs focus on breaking down barriers that stand in the way between a person and their aspirations. By participating in Shifting Gears programs, community members will walk away with the tools that they need to attain their recreational goals. Whether it be learning how to change a flat tire, cycling 50 miles, locating accessible trails, finding a hiking partner, setting goals or just remembering how to “play,” our aim is to create a welcoming environment for all to join in and learn.
