The Valley has a tremendous number of not-for-profit organizations and ministries focused on being change agents in our city. As Christians we have an opportunity to engage our city and to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ. This month we are highlighting Off The Front in an effort to share what they do and how you can be involved.
Off The Front's Purpose:
Off The Front (OTF) is a cycling term for a rider who has broken away from the rest of the pack. As a nonprofit, Off The Front’s desire is to help kids in impoverished areas learn how to set goals and work hard to reach those goals so they can break away from the hindrances they face in the areas of education and obesity in order to succeed in the race of life.
Off The Front’s goal is to give a bicycle to every 4th grade student in the impoverished areas of Fresno Unified who is able to achieve customized goals in academics, character, and service. The purpose of the bike is to motivate each child toward a healthy lifestyle through various incentive programs in the following years. They will reproduce their model on a yearly basis with new elementary schools.
