To enroll children in the Kids Repair Program, parents can call 485-8956 or click here for an enrollment form. Better yet, they can stop by the office and pick up an enrollment form. They can also meet "Grandad" and tour the facility. Office hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 am - 8pm. Class hours during the school year are 4:30 - 7:30 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. During the summer, class hours are either 9 am -12 noon or 1 - 4 pm. Kids enrolled in the program provide their own bicycle if they have one. An assessment is made to see if the bicycle is repairable. If the bicycle is not repairable, the student will be assigned a bike that they may take home upon completing the class. Students will also receive a new bike helmet and bike lock. Students are given 20 hours of instruction in bicycle safety, repair and maintenance. Upon completion, a graduation ceremony is held and a "Certificate of Achievement" is awarded. It is the KRP Board of Directors' goal to have three levels of instruction. The Basics level teaches problem recognition. The Intermediate level teaches how to fix the problem. The Advanced level improves skills and provides students with options for fixing the problem. At this level of interest students may qualify for an apprenticeship position in a bicycle shop or to teach other students at KRP.
